The world needs more gardeners and small scale farmings living working on their own land.

We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.

Dear Friends,

When I turned 40, closed up my future trading business, and made the declaration “I’m going to be a farmer”, I of course, had absolutely no idea of what I was getting in to! I thought there were basically three kinds of lettuce: romaine, butter and loose leaf. Little did I know there were at least a hundred varieties and over the years I’ve trialed almost all of them. Whew, what a difference there can be in taste and quality. So although this photo may look like an ordinary head of butter lettuce, our lettuces come to you with a lot of history (including blood, sweat and tears). I find that when I’m faced with ‘what am I going to make for dinner in the evening?’, if I start with lettuce and start adding other chopped vegetables, maybe a hard boiled egg, seasonings, a home made dressing and perhaps some croutons, I’m half way there!

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.

Dear Friends,

This is a photo on the same bluff of Seabreeze of a little building once part of another farm in our valley, One of many area farms that are long gone. I still remember the old dairy just south of Seabreeze that provided milk and products to much of early San Diego. Beautiful old wooden buildings: a 3 story house, barns, corrals, auxiliary buildings, knee high pasture grass and vistas to make you swoon. What we’d give to have all that back again. Just saying.
