WOW, I watched SUCH an inspiring little video on YouTube today. The ‘Urban Homesteaders’ in Pasadena, California, have been developing their urban garden into an absolutely amazingly rich food-producing garden since the 1980s. Today it is a treasure-trove of fruits, veggies, edible flowers, sustainable living techniques and so much more. I have often heard of their work before, yet until today had never looked into it – WOW – I am SOOO glad I did – I find this massively inspiring – I hope you do too.
No inch of their garden space is left untouched...they seem to LOVE what they do...and they eat fresh, vibrant, organic food daily, straight from garden to plate...wow…love it…absolutely BEAUTIFUL :) You can watch the 10 minute clip on YouTube HERE and start envisioning your own magical, bountiful garden... ;)

  1. Hi Angela,
    I've been following your site for awhile, even though I eat all sorts of cooked food.

    I just wanted you to know that I've linked to your chia recipe contest.

    One question: does my favorite chia recipe have to be raw??
