The former owner sprayed religiously, but there's no way Teresa will.
What a Cloche and Some Plastic Can Do
Teresa grows tomatoes, melons and peppers in a cloche because they love the heat.

Gardening - Spring
View some of Teresa's spring gardening activity and watch as the flowers and vegetables begin to grow and populate her garden with varied colors and shapes.
Gardening - Summer
Summer is a time when melons, cucumbers, artichokes and other fruits and vegetables grow to their maximum size and are ready for harvesting.
Gardening - Fall
It's hard to not think of color when you think of fall in Oregon. Teresa's garden is no exception as brightly colored leaves cover sections of the garden.
