03 · The Garden

Where the story started

Before the remodel, before the kitchen, there was a garden that drew us in. The garden is an evolving journal: planting notes, harvests, mistakes, experiments, and the things we eventually cook with.

Currently growing · Late Summer

  • Chili peppersSerrano, Fresno, and one experiment too many
  • Heirloom tomatoesStaked in June, sprawling by August
  • Basil & herbsCut daily; the kitchen runs on them
  • PomegranatesSplitting on the branch by October
  • HydrangeasFor the table, not the vegetable beds
  • Meyer lemonsThe tree we planted
A steel watering can and leather gloves resting on mossy ground
A hand pressed into sunlit grass
The harvest table outdoors with summer fruit, olives, and cut flowers
A ripe peach on an open book, a quiet afternoon in the garden
Crouching in the grass, gathering by hand

Garden note

We plant what we want to eat, and we eat what the season decides.
