Hello, from the Dirty Girl…DGG is a horticulture collective that includes writings on gardening, useful products from our brand and others, links and resources to outstanding companies and organizations, and a compelling compendium of Jenn's thoughts, ideas, interests and concerns regarding the environment.

Dinner last night came partially from my amazement that I had never tried a Julia Child recipe, and partially from being completely in lust with all the fall fruits and vegetables. (No, I don’t feel strange for lusting after root crops or the like.) What’s not to be inspired by? [...]

Serpent Found
We worked at the farm yesterday, moving soil and other debris with the tractor, and all around having as fabulous of a time you can have when working in dirt. Dustin must have moved something and found this little guy: I’m guessing from this website he’s a Pacific Ring-necked Snake. [...]

Garden Mash-up: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Mite you stop eating my rudbeckia, please?
Just one of my little rud’s are being attached by aphids and mites and two other little creatures. Luckily, those ladybugs I released earlier in the year had babies and they are coming to the rescue. Hey, what do you think of the new site? Please feel free to ask [...]
