Growing Fruit

He’s a Smooth Pollinator — When Peach Trees Need a Helping Hand

Tom -

April 3, 2008

Buddy and Tom putting in a good day, learning a little along the way, and keeping it neighborly on their Vashon Island farm.

Welcome to Vashon Island, a sweet spot moored in the middle of Puget Sound, home to the quirky, the kind, and the unabashedly laid back. A stunning ferry ride from West Seattle or Tacoma, Vashon Island is just inconvenient enough to deter the impatient and cultivate the eccentric.

We live in an 1888 farmhouse on a few acres on Vashon Island in the heart of Puget Sound, where I share projects, island life, farm duties, and the joy of growing fruit, flowers, and good food. I embrace the beauty of the bulldog, succumb to the power of pie, worship the peach, contend summer is never long enough, and have never met a hammock I didn't like.
