      <image:title>Garden Journal - Low-Work, High-Flavor: Easy Summer Fruit - 1. Strawberries: Sweet Simplicity</image:title>
      <image:caption>Few things say summer like a bowl of fresh strawberries. These perennials are surprisingly low-maintenance once established. Plant them in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, give them a little mulch to keep the weeds down, and they’ll reward you with juicy red berries year after year. Plus, kids love picking them—no ladder required. Seed tip: June-bearing varieties produce a heavy crop over a few weeks, while everbearing types give you smaller flushes all summer long.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Raspberries practically grow themselves once they get going. With minimal pruning and decent sun, these hardy canes will produce plump, tart-sweet berries perfect for snacking, baking, or preserving. They’re also incredibly resilient and can tolerate a bit of garden neglect—ideal for busy summer schedules. Seed tip: Choose a mix of summer-bearing and fall-bearing types to extend your harvest. In our garden, we have a gorgeous arch covered with Raspberries, Boysenberries, and Blackberries. Berry vines and bushes are very easy to trellis or create an espalier version - if you have the space.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - The Unbroken Ground: Honoring the Grit of Gardeners Who Defy the Earth - The Stone Dreamer: Baldasare Forestiere’s Underground Oasis</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the early 1900s, Baldasare Forestiere, a native of Italy, and brimming with dreams of citrus groves, arrived in California’s Central Valley. With savings earned tunneling for the Boston subway, he bought land near Fresno, California. His heart sank when he struck the soil—a brutal, unforgiving layer of hardpan clay and rock, nearly 6 feet deep, as impenetrable as concrete. The surface baked under a relentless sun; the earth below refused water and roots. Most would have surrendered. Forestiere saw a challenge worthy of his name—which fittingly means “woodsman” or “forester.”   Armed only with a pickaxe, shovel, and staggering determination, Baldasare began to dig. Not dig-up, but down. For over 40 years, he chiseled away at the unyielding earth, carving out an astonishing subterranean world. He didn’t just dig cellars; he sculpted. Courtyards open to the sky captured precious rainwater. Arched passageways wound through cool, earthen halls. Living quarters, a chapel, and even fishponds emerged from the gloom. But the true marvel?   His garden.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - The Unbroken Ground: Honoring the Grit of Gardeners Who Defy the Earth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Forestiere understood what the surface denied him, the underground could provide. He planted fruit trees in sunken courtyards—citrus, figs, grapes, even a single, cherished avocado—grafting multiple varieties onto single rootstocks to maximize bounty in minimal space. Vines cascaded down walls; herbs flourished in niches. The earth itself became his ally: insulating roots from scorching summers, sheltering tender growth from winter frosts. He created a self-sustaining microclimate—a hidden, edible landscape thriving where nothing should have grown.   His “Forestiere Underground Gardens” weren’t just functional; they were breathtakingly beautiful—a testament to human ingenuity married with profound respect for nature’s rhythms. He didn’t conquer the harsh soil; he collaborated with it, turning adversity into abundance through sheer, unwavering grit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - The Unbroken Ground: Honoring the Grit of Gardeners Who Defy the Earth - The Seed of Resilience Blooms Anew</image:title>
      <image:caption>Baldasare Forestiere’s story isn’t just a dusty relic of the past. It’s a beacon for every gardener staring down their own “hardpan”—whether it’s thin mountain soil, relentless urban gravel, parched desert earth, or compacted clay. It reminds us that fertility isn’t just found; it’s forged. It’s built with calloused hands, patient observation, and an unshakeable belief that life will find a way.  At Cottage Seed, we stand in awe of this legacy. We believe the spirit of pioneers like Baldasare lives on in every packet of seeds we carefully select. Our mission is to provide you with the same resilient heart he embodied:  Organic &amp; Non-GMO: Like Forestiere working with nature, not against it, our seeds are nurtured without synthetic chemicals or genetic modification. They carry the inherent strength of plants adapted naturally over generations.  Open-Pollinated: These seeds are stewards of diversity and history. They can be saved year after year, adapting to your unique conditions—be it a sun-drenched balcony, a windy hillside, or yes, even challenging soil. They possess the genetic flexibility to thrive where others might falter.  Hearted for Hardiness: We seek out and breed varieties known for their toughness—tomatoes that shrug off drought, beans that climb through cool fog, greens that bolt slowly in heat, roots that push through heavy earth. They are selected not just for flavor, but for fortitude.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - The Unbroken Ground: Honoring the Grit of Gardeners Who Defy the Earth - Plant with the Spirit of the Pioneer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Baldasare Forestiere didn’t wait for perfect ground. He created his own perfect ground, several feet below the surface. He reminds us that the most bountiful gardens often spring from the most determined hearts, and the most resilient seeds.  Channel Your Inner Forestiere: 4 Modern Tactics for Tough Soil  Like Baldasare sculpting abundance beneath the hardpan, today’s gardeners can defy poor soil with smart strategies. Here’s how to harness his spirit: Build Up, Not Just Down (Raised Beds &amp; Berms): Like Baldasare creating fertile courtyards below, build fertile ground above. Construct raised beds filled with high-quality compost, aged manure, and mineral-rich topsoil. Shape mounds (berms) around moisture-loving plants. This instantly creates deep, loose, nutrient-dense root zones, bypassing compacted clay, rock, or sand beneath. Control your soil destiny! Embrace the “Underground Sponge” (Hugelkultur-Inspired Beds): Following Forestiere’s use of buried organic matter for moisture and warmth, try hugelkultur principles. Bury logs, branches, leaves, and straw deep within raised beds or trenches. As this woody core decomposes slowly underground, it acts like a giant sponge, retaining rainwater and releasing nutrients for years – mimicking the self-sustaining fertility of his sunken gardens. Perfect for arid or quick-draining soils. Brew Liquid Gold (Compost Teas): Forestiere nurtured life in unlikely places; supercharge your soil biology. Brew nutrient-rich, microbially active compost tea. Regularly applying this “liquid gold” inoculates poor soil with beneficial bacteria and fungi, building structure, unlocking trapped minerals, and helping plants access nutrients – just as Baldasare fostered life in his underground ecosystem. Choose the Hardy Pioneers (Select Resilient Varieties): Forestiere knew success started with the right plant. Invest in high quality seeds bred for grit. Seek out open-pollinated, organic varieties specifically known for deep roots, drought tolerance, disease resistance, or ability to thrive in marginal soils, like our kale, deep-rooted carrots, or resilient beans. These genetic powerhouses, like Baldasare himself, are built to adapt and overcome.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Curly kale is packed with nutrients and perfect cooked or served raw in salads. Some folks are not a fan of this lively green, because the kale was “too strong” for their taste. Kale’s taste strengthens as it matures or is exposed to hot temperatures. If however, you’re willing to give it a second try, pick the leaves early, while they are young, tender and sweet, and you may discover this truly delicious little wonder.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Frost and Food - Warmth From Many Sources.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Not everyone has the room or resources for a permanent greenhouse. I love them. I wish I had more! You can however use a few simple tricks to get a production result that is similar to what is achieved in a greenhouse. Thick layers of straw, compost, leaf litter will retain the warmth of the limited sun in winter. Watch for weeds or undesired growth and pick them as soon as they start. Small hoops with plastic covers over low-rows will provide a greenhouse effect. We use these but as we get snow loads and high winds, we run a 1x1 pole or a pvc tube along the top as a ridge post and anchor them at the base with stones, bricks, or similar materials to prevent them from flying away. Items as heat sinks such as dark colored buckets with lids filled with water to keep things warm. You can use any plastic jars, old liter bottles, etc. and fill them with red (food coloring) water. Any of these placed under your plastic and next to your plants will help keep them warm. If you are growing seedlings for planting later, or want an easy winter food, like microgreens, help keep them warm with an electric warming pad under the shallow grow tray. (some offer solar or battery power).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cane Borers. These little critters can severely damage or destroy your raspberries, blackberries, hydrangea, and rose plants fairly quickly if left untreated. To be honest, I had no idea what this was a few years ago! Treat this problem by cutting well below the hole. If you make a cut and the hole continues, cut beneath again until there are no holes. You can swab the cut area with some warm beeswax mixed with Cayenne pepper (just a dash will do) to deter any new cane borers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Natural Pest Control - Hornworms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hornworms are predominantly attracted to tomato plants, but they’re also attracted to the leaves of others in the nightshade family such as Tomatillo, Eggplant, and Potato. Pick them off and toss them in the trash (or feed to your hens!) before they lay eggs. If the above fails, take additional measures. Hornworms overwinter in the soil in a pupae stage before becoming spring moths that start the next season's egg laying. Tilling your garden soil after your harvest and again in early spring can kill 90% or more of the overwintering pests and reduce Hornworm problems for the coming year!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Natural Pest Control</image:title>
      <image:caption>Second, the best way of keeping aphids at bay, is to use the natural borax Ant Traps so that you don’t have Ants accommodating the aphids - yes, that is a thing! Ants love to drink the sweet nectar that the Aphids produce from your darling plants. Oh the symbiotic relationship must come to an end! Therefore, the Ants around your plants must go. Lastly, ladybugs love to eat aphids and other pests. The ladybug solution that many of us use, can be improved by placing the ladies on your plants in the evening, and follow by covering the plants with plastic. Leave the plastic on through the next morning, but remove it by midday so as not to overheat or kill the ladybugs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Natural Pest Control - Leaf Miners and Powdery Mildew</image:title>
      <image:caption>Years ago Leaf miners loved my squash plant leaves as well as my pie pumpkin leaves. They don’t hurt the fruit and are not harmful, per se. Like powdery mildew, which its spores are in many garden soils, Leaf Miners can block the photosynthesis and greatly reduce your plant’s ability to produce large or abundant fruit. Thankfully, there’s an easy solution to both leaf miners and powdery mildew! As soon as you see anything resembling this design or a powdery substance, gently pick-off those leaves and throw them in the trash (not the compost bin!). You can then spray a neem solution on the remaining healthy leaves to prevent any remaining eggs from hatching (or mildew spores from growing). Some gardeners prefer to use commercial Neem Oil, but I prefer to use a concentration of Neem Queen Tea (Product of USA). Not only is it great for your own health, it is great for your plants too! Just spray a little on plant leaves in early morning each day until problem is resolved, usually just 2-3 applications are needed. For powdery mildew problems, be sure to only water plants when truly needed, and do not spray leaves, as splashing of soil on to the plant can cause additional powdery mildew spores to grow.</image:caption>

We found many people creating beer traps and others using sticky traps. All those were too smelly, sticky, and messy for me. I wanted something that I didn’t have to “buy” or mess with. My grandmother loved gardens and nature walks. She’d take trips to the mountains when her children were small. One thing she used from observation alone - was Cayenne Pepper! Ground Cayenne pepper would be sprinkled around plants to deter snails, slugs, and many other intruding pests. I tried it, and it worked! I have zero of these pests now. I also use it for gopher control! Just sprinkle it down a gopher hole and they’ll head the other direction.</image:caption>

Mustard powder may be used similarly to how we use Cayenne Pepper. You may sprinkle it around plants, but don’t do so on a windy day, or if you have kids or pets who may be in contact with it. It can burn the eyes and skin, and cause breathing issues if inhaled. It is toxic to pets if they eat it, and may become sick if they sniff it. We found that the best way to use Mustard is to use it as a foliar spray, and to dilute it. We use 1/4 cup of mustard powder in a gallon of water. Then, we add one tablespoon of liquid organic non-toxic dish soap, and (optional) two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Caution: some apple cider vinegar contains fruit treated with the “Apeel” forever chemicals, so please do your research. Stir all of this together and then spray it on your plants first thing in the morning, or last thing at night.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Winter Surprises - We have many raised beds, but not all are well protected against rodent intrusion. The one is this photo is is one of the better protected in our garden. You probably don’t see it in this photo, but It has metal mesh hardware cloth underneath the plastic laying flat across the bed. We took the same “L” shaped brackets that we used on the corners of the box, to fasten the mesh wire to the boards.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We strongly encourage others to be sure to cover their crops at all times. Ventilation is key during warmer weather of course, but let’s just say that it is not a “theory” but a fact that there are certain unscrupulous actors polluting our skies with very harmful materials. But that conversation is for another day. In the meantime, please enjoy your rest this winter, spring will be here shortly!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Growing Kid-friendly Bouquets - 6. Nasturtium</image:title>
      <image:caption>These are easy flowers to grow, with blue-green leaves and gorgeous blooms, they grow in climbing or mound forms. Nasturtiums come in an array of colors from peach and red to coral and rose and show off all season until frost. But the coolest thing about both the flowers and the leaves is that they're edible, so kids can toss them on summer salads and tasty no-bake desserts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A member of the mint family, Rosemary in a favorite in a kids garden as it has lovely violet colored flowers and needs very little attention. Gather flowering branches in the morning and gently pinch off the tender tops (easier for kids) as the lower, more woody stalks, may require the use of garden shears.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - Growing Kid-friendly Bouquets - 8. Strawberry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kids love picking the flowers of the Strawberry bush as much as the bright berries fresh off the plant. New strawberry varieties are pretty, compact plants that produce fruit all season long and thrive in containers and hanging baskets. It's possible to grow these from seed, but it takes time. Look for plants, which will bear fruit the first season. Parental caution, strawberries (like peanuts) are not safe food choices for everyone. Please watch your child carefully for signs of allergic reactions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - We planted a Prayer Garden - Here is the bare spot we started with. There was a pile of stones scattered in one corner, and others that looked like a funky and broken heart shape. The broken heart was truly symbolic for a prayer garden. God fixes all of the broken hearted! We brought all of the stones together to build up a small border for new plantings. The border already had a tall stone on one side that the birds frequently stood on. It was too deep to move without a lot of effort, so we decided to keep it there. An old deteriorating bench from the previous owners was left on the property, so we repaired it, moved it into this space. We then created a stone path with flagstones, that meandered into and out of the “sunken” prayer area.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Boy did we move a lot of dirt! In the new stone planter, we added branches and leaves as a base before adding raised bed soil.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - We planted a Prayer Garden - We knew that with all of our other obligations, we wanted a relatively no-fuss, and easy to care for prayer garden. We also didn’t want to attract more gophers than we already had. So we planted rosemary, oregano (lots!), nasturtium, aromatic herbs, narcissus bulbs, and potted geraniums.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you don’t have a lot of space, a small bench, a little fountain, and potted plants make a great little prayer corner. Give it a try!</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - We planted a Prayer Garden - There was an existing small water feature and a wisteria in this area, whose heavenly fragrance was perfect for a prayer setting.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We also planted Russian Sage, Salvia yangii, previously known as Perovskia atriplicifolia, which is pictured here toward the walkway. It’s striking when in bloom with lovely purple flowers. It attracts pollenators and is easy to care for, a low water consumer, and is not only self-seeding, but you can also grow more from cuttings.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Garden Journal - We planted a Prayer Garden - In the end, all of the work was worth it. We did lose the ground cover you see in the bottom right of this image, but we added some brightly painted songbird houses which seemed to make the other plant colors “pop.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>I hope our journey inspires you to create a simple Prayer Garden of your own.</image:caption>
