One year anniversary

Happy one year anniversary to my dear friend and blogging buddy. 

We don't have a lot of readers. We don't even blog too regularly. But, in this past year I think that all doesn't matter too much. It begin as a New Year's resolution for me to try something new and creative. I shared it with my sister, brother-in-law and Tyler on New Year's Eve and I tried to name it, "How does my garden grow?" but Tyler couldn't stop thinking impure thoughts. Good thing I waited another 4 months to act on my decision because it gave me the time to come up with a fitting name and fitting blogging partner.

I wanted Tierra Rural to be about food, nature, the environment, innovative ideas, sharing, gardening, connecting and us. And I think it is. Tierra Rural has brought me closer to a great friend and to the natural world around me. We hope to keep growing with the blog and to make it more informative and inviting every year. (I do really hope we can double our followers ;)

So, here's to friendship and new adventures in the blogosphere! Cheers

I want, I want, I want for spring

Something has come over me this spring and it's not good. It's this sudden want for everything. I'm slowly being sucked into a black hole of consumerism, but I haven't been sucked in yet! I am staying strong to my commitment to buy things based on need and not want.

However as I continue to resist I figured there is no harm in sharing my latest, cutest I want, I want, I want item for the garden. Check out this fantastically cute vegetable flag banner!

It's 28 buckaroos at the Windsparrow Studio shop on Etsy. You can check out this banner as well as others here: Windsparrow Studio on Etsy. You can cruise for other gardening I want, I want, I want items on etsy but let me warn you before you do: cruising etsy is a time zapper.

Ah, now I will return to picturing that cute little banner hanging on my back fence welcoming people into my garden. Hmmmm.... I may just give in on this one!

While you were traveling Marci...

NPR ran a story on window farming (even though I think it should really be called window gardening, but that's a different story) that I thought you would enjoy. So you can listen to it here.

Here's a video the window farming project too:



Pretty interesting, eh?
