Even though I enjoy gardening immensely I have never owned a vineyard like the one in the photo. I have however enjoyed spending time in other peoples vineyards, like this one in Napa Valley (CA). When my daughter was a few months old we leased a house here over the winter. It was magical to…

In this Daily Gratitude Practice 2026 I’ve decided to share some of my favourites in the garden. Crops that I love so much that I keep growing them year after year.
