Testing Lights with Garlic

July 12, 2015 By maryrachel Leave a Comment

This weekend I started testing off-camera flash combos for a new project. I never knew garlic could be so suggestive.

Waiting for the Big Thaw of March

March 7, 2015 By maryrachel Leave a Comment

The beginning of March has been spent waiting. Waiting for the snow to melt. Waiting for seeds to germinate.

We are almost there.

 

s/n: This year I’m forgoing seed starting supplies with whatever types of trays I have lying around the apartment and using newspaper and toilet paper rolls as pots. My favorite post on recycled newspaper pots is from Garden Betty.

20 months?

September 29, 2014 By maryrachel 1 Comment

No. Really. A friend asked for advice on a blog during her artist residency in India, then she called me out for not posting on my own.
There were a few blog posts percolating during this almost-2-years…..yet a lot of life has happened during that time; and I haven’t quite figured out my way back. But there is good stuff happening.

For now I’ll leave you with this picture of Travers working in our beautiful garden amidst monster tomatillos.
