Roots

Things have slowed down a bit at the garden after all of the spring plantings. We are in that in-between time after the planting but before the harvesting.

So, we're spending a great deal of time weeding, watering and waiting.

Seems like a good time to back up a bit and tell you more about ourselves. I rummaged around and found some old pictures to help tell our story. I'm still missing some but will add them as soon as I find them!

You might want to take a few moments to let everything load. Go get a cold beer or something.

Erin was born and raised in Little Rock.

Adam was born and raised in Auburn, New York.

They met at Southampton College in NY where they both majored in Environmental Science.

Erin and Adam started dating and did an internship at an organic farm in North Carolina.

During college, they traveled to Costa Rica

and Brazil

and Australia

and the Solomon Islands

and New Zealand.

After graduation, Erin moved to upstate New York to live and work.

She got a cat named Moo Shu.

While Adam moved to Mississippi to work at a State Park.


Another year passed and Adam and Erin moved to Portland.

They loved the Pacific Northwest.

They got another cat and named her Junebug.

Adam and Erin had a garden in Portland too.

Eventually, after 6 years of dating, Adam asked Erin to marry him.
On a cliff.

She said yes.

After three years in Portland Adam, Erin, Moo Shu and Junebug moved to Little Rock.

And got married.

And honeymooned in St Lucia.

Once settled in Little Rock, Erin bought Adam a garden plot for Christmas.

And they started a blog.

And they lived happily ever after.
