Hi, I am Lorenzo.

I am a gardener based in Vancouver. The slugs got most of the lettuce, but the beans did well.

Seed swaps

Half of gardening is noticing what grows on its own.

Small-space growing

The small things matter less than the practice of paying attention.

Planting plans

Saving seed means next year’s garden starts this autumn.

Seasonal garden notes

The soil is better every year, mostly because I stopped digging it.
