The new farm in La Sonadora, in Penonome district a few miles north of the town center. Plant close to your house and not only will you get privacy hedges of sorts, but the number of steps from harvest to your kitchen will be many fewer. Photo by Eric Jackson.
Small, intensive and close
Generally we do the opposite and don’t have the time and daily reminders and wind up weedy and unproductive. Neither really happy nor proud.
My workers always tell me that my single best advice is “close.” You will use less time, energy and resources. Weeds almost pull themselves while the goodies and favorite flavors happily fall into your kitchen pot.
