How Sage’s garden grows
Growing Artichokes as Flowers
Artichokes aren't much to look at in the garden, but if you let them flower, they turn out to be quite attractive. Pollinators like bees love them too!
My Hybrid Tomato Experiment
A lot of people dismiss the idea of saving seeds from hybrid tomatoes because they don't breed true. Me, I grow many generations of them to see where they go.

Make a Garden Twine Dispenser from a Gourd
If you use twine in your garden, then you could probably use a twine dispenser. Here's how to make one quickly and easily with a gourd and a few simple tools
Garden Design with Grocery Store Onions
Don't throw out those onions just because they sprouted! Plant them in the garden and they'll reward you with a show of amazing flowers that look like lollipops

First it was the dill, then the aloe, then the broccoli, and now the celery. This year the gophers are relentless (thanks El Niño). Grrr. I need more traps.
Green Globe Artichokes in April
