 What a beautiful sunny day to celebrate those  who gave us life, nurturing us as we made our way through the world.  I give thanks to my own mother who instilled in me the values of caring for others, exploring the world around me, and never stop learning.  These values have served me well in my personal life, professional career, and as a city farm boy.   And so, today I also honor our Mother Earth.

Welcome to CityFarmBoy!  This blog is a place for me to share my experiences, philosophy and reflections on urban farming in Seattle.

I’ve always been interested in growing things, and as luck would have it have a pretty decent “green thumb.”  For over 10 years I’ve taken to growing vegetables organically in any plot of ground I’ve had the fortune to call my own.  I’ve learned how by taking a host of classes through Seattle Tilth, reading a plethora of gardening books, talking with my fellow gardeners, and just plain trial and error.  Experience has made me successful at most everything I’ve tried to grow, weather permitting, in our infamous Pacific Northwest climate.
