This is an account of my gardening, now on the prairie of NE Iowa. I used to live closer to the Mississippi River in another county. I formerly lived in Northern CA, in the Coastal Range of Mountains, a completely different climate. I used to garden at a friend's farm there. I recently purchased a home with some vacant land and will transform it into a large, new garden in 2020. Come and garden with me through the seasons in NE Iowa. I'll show you how to do it!

Sunflowers and Walla Walla onions
Here are more photos! I planted several kinds of sunflowers around the garden perimeter, these are for the birds, the giant ones aren't blooming yet. And look at the peppers around the lettuce!
Here are the Walla Walla onions, which we are now harvesting. I'm freezing them and we're canning carmelized onions, and any way we can think of.
