Growing food is not new to this couple. Cliff and Mary Ellen grew tomatoes commercially for 5 years selling at the local Farmer's Market in Duncan and to the chefs at Fairburn Farms. They are like so many gardeners I meet, humbled by gardening and feeling like beginners as they try new techniques and observing the results.
Every gardener teaches me something new and this garden tour was no different. Cliff showed me how he plants his carrots each year using a cold frame covered with remay cloth. The cold frame is bottomless and placed over the new garden bed where the seeds are planted and the frame keeps the cloth from resting on the carrot tops and is easy to remove to water. Brilliant idea!
