Tomato green house is a productive food jungle this fall. We are drying lavender and dill in the attached potting shed. I will be working with @tonilchristianson to redecorate into a cozy tea house potting shed to enjoy into the fall and winter. We are busy preparing the grounds for an exciting spring season at Ridge Road Farm.

Dad’s pumpkin 2025. He has always enjoyed growing large pumpkins. Currently pulling flowers to keep the plant focusing on growing just one pumpkin for size.

Here’s a few memorable shots from our Family Cruise to Alaska. It was a blast. What a great way to see some Alaskan port towns and beautiful scenery.

Check out our plant key ring inside Tillinghast Postal if you’re curious about the plant selection out front. I got this idea from @bllandscapeswhidbey.

Our friends are checking out the new plants.

Shared vegetable plot with our neighbor. Lots of potatoes and onions this year. Artichokes ready for a rainy harvest. Good eating.

This is our second season with this variety and they keep producing all summer long. We picked ours up from @christiansonsnursery this spring.

Our green house is exploding in La Conner. Strawberries, peppers, and tomatoes.

Recap from yesterday with a few of the boys helping me clean the excavator.

The rain cleared just in time for to start a new project today. We will be expanding the width of roughly 200 ft of gravel pathway, digging up and removing a mature bamboo root system, and finishing with some 16”x16” paver staircase landings. Follow along in my story Highlights.
