Experimenting in the Studio – Gold Leaf
I’m still trying to decide if I like the outcome… if I ultimately decide I do, then I’m thinking maybe I will do a flower series this summer that combines the gold leaf with paintings of flowers I grow in our market garden.
Making Naan
There is nothing more delightful than freshly made naan… well okay maybe there is but we aren’t talking the bedroom we are talking the kitchen!
Building a Potting Shed – Interior Walls
It is exciting to see the changes and even the smallest progress is satisfying. My view is, as long as we keep moving forward, we will get there eventually and when we do … it will be fabulous! Until then, stay tune for more updates!
Caesar Salad Recipe
So so yummy… I’m still enjoying the dressing and can’t wait to try my hand at the croutons.
Building a Potting Shed Floor
With the new exterior wall up, well three of them anyway, I decided that a level and more solid floor would be more functional for a Potting Shed. Good idea and I have a vision, not 100% sure how we are going to construct it.
Prepping the Fruit Shed for Seedlings
My goal is to get the shed set up before planting starts so I can work in one location.
Ordering Seeds
This combined strategy should make growing and planting a lot smoother and less stressful and make the whole process more joyful!

What I’ve Learned about Building an Airbnb
I’ve learned a ton this past year about building an Airbnb, all valuable lessons that I know I will draw upon for future projects! Is there more to do? Absolutely but that too is part of the process… Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither is an Airbnb!
Tomato, Pesto and Feta Cheese Salad
As we are nearing the end of the growing season, my heirloom tomatoes are finally taking off and, albeit late, I’m starting to get a bumper crop! For this recipe I’ve used the Orange Accordion (seen photo), Black Beauty as well as Black Strawberry. I should also add that this is a Palisade Posh original recipe!
Linguine with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce and Roasted Pumpkin
With our fall squash and cooking pumpkins being harvested, I’ve been experimenting with our produce and trying to come up with new recipes.
Roasted Honeynut Squash Linguine with Almond and Brown Butter Sauce
This is an original Palisade Posh recipe inspired by the produce we grow in the Posh Market Garden.
