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.

Tomatoes looking good!


Tomatoes are growing, more tomatoes and blossoms. I water everyday now, the weather is still cool but tomatoes in garden are beginning to bloom even though they are on the small side.

  1. Mine too! I was just telling my friend that I've never had the plants this size flowering. I'm afraid they are stunted, but perhaps when the sun finally gets here, we'll get some growth. It's a hard season for the plants, eh? Peas look good and we should be picking in the next few days.
