Since I am new here I want to make a post to introduce you to my garden. Our farm is named Golden Rule Farm. I refer to my present garden as the Quilt Garden. It is truly a labor of Love. I have to pinch myself sometime as I am working there. It is deeply satisfying in so many ways. I would not be the gardener / farmer that I am if it were not for Eliot Coleman and John Jeavons. Both of these men mentored me and gave up precious time twenty years ago to teach me. I have spent time with both of them at their farms and they put up with many phone calls from me. Anyone that is familiar with their methods will recognize their influence in the things I share. They are also the reason I share so freely the things I have learned. They gave so freely to me, I desire to do the same for those that are just getting started as well.  I look forward to sharing with you the many ways we can nurture our growing areas and make them truly bountiful!

Welcome to the forum.

Yes for sustainable gardens look at the work of Eliot Coleman and John Jeavons.

I have a book by Jeavons.

Your garden is very beautiful and I like the name.
