When we arrived in Marcola, the back field was so overgrown that it was hard to imagine we would ever get it under control. A garden emerged bit by bit as we persevered through the weeds.

So far we have planted: heirloom tomatoes, a huge variety of sweet and spicy peppers, eggplant and cucumbers (all kindly started by our friend Nancy), red russian kale, lacinato kale, baby bok choi, multi-colored carrots, lavender, epazote, shiso leaves oregano, tarragon, basil... to name a few.
