I am excited this fall, because for once I don’t feel terribly behind on my winter crop plantings, I have 2 separate beds of my “greens mixture” beets, chard, kale, swiss chard and parsnips coming up, about 3 weeks apart, I have garlic sprouted about 4″ and more just breaking through the ground. Onions are [...]
Here’s what I’ve learned lately from our 26′ Growing Dome. For a while there our life was pretty calm and I was getting to the Dome every Saturday and checking in on the plants. I’d harvest whatever was ready, clip the dead leaves or stems from the tomato and pepper plants, throw in a few [...]
Food for Thought by Puja Dhyan Parsons, Co-Owner of Growing Spaces As I am moved by the amazing colors of the harvest season here in the Rocky Mountains, it seems so appropriate to share why I feel so honored to have Shumei International® teachers arrive as our guests in teaching Natural Agriculture. We Americans were [...]
I’m new to winter gardening. We built a 22 ft dome last Oct, but only began growing vegetables this summer. I also have tropical plants in the dome. I am trying to determine the best method for keeping the tropicals from freezing. I live in Crestone CO and the normal lows for Dec. and Jan [...]

As you can see in the photos they are growing several kinds of lettuce, looks like spinach, tomatoes parsley, cilantro, etc. “I’m so happy to finally be [...]
I spent a bit of time this weekend in my 26′ Dome getting it tidied and ready for a fall planting. We just had 3 weeks of monsoon rains and our temperatures have moderated somewhat, so I am hoping to get my fall crops planted this week . In so doing I am hoping to [...]
After punching in this morning I went out to the 33′ Dome here at Growing Spaces to check on the lettuce seedlings surrounding the new strawberry transplants. Once again it appears we have planted way too densely again, not hard to do with fine little lettuce seeds. So I spent about 10 minutes plucking out [...]
