About Sinfonian Barelytone...

Welcome to my continuing garden adventure here in the Seattle area (Zone 8b). At 37, I hope to improve the variety and quality of the food my family eats. My 5 and 2 year olds and I are excited to grow food for our family all year long and work to eat better. Along the way, I hope to learn all I can about vegetable gardening and pass along the knowledge to future generations. Enjoy your garden!

Well, another busy weekend in renovation land.  Thankfully we’re getting close to being done so it should go on the market this month. YAY!
Big post day today. Yesterday I tried to write one but couldn’t find the motivation or a topic even.  Today I have far more to talk about than I can get into [...]
