Channeling Sophie's Garden

Carol's garden is in Port Hope MI, in a rural, lakeside community. She has lots of space and expertise. Laura' garden is located in Centralia WA, in a small suburban yard challenged by access to sun and space. Debbie's garden is in Deckerville MI, in a smaller rural yard, where rules are ignored.

Each of us is applying what we learned at at our mother's and grandmother's knees in space once owned by Sophie Mayer Birg Harter on Rangeline Road. Sophie immigrated to Detroit in 1908 from Heufeld, a once German (Donauschwaben) community of Hungary. Her hope lives on.

Maiwein 2013

We're at it again. Herbed up some Riesling again this year - twice already. We loaded the bottle with sweet woodruff and let it sit for 2 days. Then added a sparkly Moscato and boom - a great refreshing way to great spring.

We add a half cup of sweet woodruff to each bottle and let it sit for 2 days in the fridge. It infuses a chamomile earthy tone that we enjoy.
