Straight ones for structure, branching ones to weave it together. Adjust, step back, adjust again.

It started with 20&#039; rebar bent easily on my own as I pushed each end in the ground. Those permanent &quot;frames&quot; give me just enough support to weave thru.

I love this rhythm—returning what was grown here back into the garden.

Rustic simplicity.

Before planting, check for multiple crowns in the pot. If they’re there, soak the root ball and gently tease them apart.

It’s a bit of a gamble—but with moist soil and a slow hand, it usually works.

If there’s too much resistance, stop. We don&#039;t want to snap anyone&#039;s head off.

Thousands of bees, all looking for a new home.

The largest cluster was in my tree. Once I moved them into the nuc box, I held the box on the fence where the rest of the swarm was underneath the tree.

When the queen is inside, everything shifts—the others follow.

It takes time (this one had me standing on a ladder for about 45 minutes), but it’s one of the calmest, most focused moments in beekeeping.

Still one of the most incredible things to witness.

The later varieties are always my favorite - taller, fuller, such a range of fascinating color variations. Is it pink, salmon, apricot, blush, all of them together in one bloom?

I bring in whatever is ready. Tulips, a bit of parsley about to bolt, apricot geum.

It doesn’t need much. Sometimes simple is best.

I didn’t come up with it—my friend @midwaypollinationstation showed me the idea, and I’ve been using some version of it ever since.

It’s just an extension pole and a cut water jug, taped on. Not fancy, but it works.

It lets me reach swarms I’d never attempt with a ladder, and makes the whole process faster and simpler - total game changer!

Sometimes the scrappy solutions are the ones that stick. I don&#039;t even bring a ladder with me to swarm calls anymore <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f41d.png" alt="🐝" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

I walked out thinking I’d harvest a few leaves and ended up with a full basket.

I tend to grow chard in the cool season to avoid leaf miner, and it’s one of those plants that just keeps giving.

Easy to overlook, but always there when you need it.

The same group of eleven women, gathering around a table once a month to cook from the same book. Usually not everyone makes it, but we always have a critical mass for an incredible shared meal. 

This time it was Umma: A Korean Mom’s Kitchen Wisdom by @ahnestkitchen . This was bit of a project cookbook, with recipes that took time and special ingredients. It&#039;s intentional cooking.

I made the honey-garlic chicken, using honey and garlic from my garden. The sauce was sticky and deeply flavorful - one I’ll definitely make again, maybe simplified next time with boneless thighs, tofu, or even jackfruit.

The full table looked like this:
• Oi Kimchi (cucumber)
• Honey-Garlic Chicken
• Dubu Jorim (spicy braised tofu)
• Broccoli Dubu Muchim (seasoned broccoli + tofu)
• Rotisserie chicken cabbage rolls
• Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles)
• Rice
• Rice wine
• Iced corn latte (for dessert)

It&#039;s always the best meal of the month. Yes good food - but also community and laughs and sometimes tears.

These bees came from a neighbor’s hive, and I was able to gather them and pass them along to another local beekeeper.

This is exactly why I started a neighborhood bee club years ago—so we could help each other when moments like this happen.

Still one of the most amazing things to witness.

A few years ago, after visiting gardens in England, I came home convinced that the secret wasn’t rarity or perfection, but quantity of what you love most.

Plant more than you think. Let it feel abundant.

Now, for a few weeks each spring, the garden feels like it’s singing from every corner. I&#039;ve also planted a mix of early-to-late varieties, to stretch the season. 

I&#039;ve applied this methodology of abundance to every month in my garden. There&#039;s a huge quantity of whatever my very favorite plant is for that month, and it takes center stage.

There’s enough of these blooms that I don’t feel the need to ration them. I bring a handful inside each week and still feel surrounded by them outdoors.

Spring always feels like a quick season, but a generous one.

<p>Here are all of my posts! You should be able to click on any given month and see an expandable list of previous posts. It&#8217;s overwhelming! And this goes back nearly 20 years&#8230; I have high hopes of going through to fix all the broken links and missing images, but I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s enough downtime in the world for me to prioritize that.</p>

From a windowsill to a sprawling backyard, these are all places we can grow vegetables, make homes for animals, and fill our cupboards with canned decadence, all the while flashing our personal style and taste.</p>

<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)">In 2014, we bid a fond farewell to our original homestead and moved into the Sellwood neighborhood of SE Portland for another fixer-upper homestead project. Our new digs had different colored carpet in every room, wallpaper for every decade since the home&#8217;s construction in the early mid-century, and a minimal landscape consisting of just lawn.</p>



<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)">We began cutting sod and sheet mulching to rehab the nutrient-sapped, heavy clay soil. The first trees and large edible shrubs were planted well before our moving boxes were unpacked. My many years of homesteading and experience in landscape architecture helped the homestead take shape quickly. The major elements include larger raised beds, pergola/patio space, in-ground irrigation, crushed rock pathways, and a dilapidated outbuilding rebuilt into a combination chicken coop/garden shed.</p>

<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)">After just a few years, everything has grown in much faster than any of my previous urban homesteads. The overall garden design seems more cohesive, thoughtful, and flexible to adapt to the changing needs of our growing family.</p>



<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)">My kids still spend time hunting for berries and collecting eggs daily from the chickens. Our backyard is an urban oasis for friends and family to gather during our warm weather gatherings. And in the dormant months, it&#8217;s my favorite place in the world for quiet contemplation with a hot cup of coffee. </p>

Straight ones for structure, branching ones to weave it together. Adjust, step back, adjust again.

Rustic simplicity.

Before planting, check for multiple crowns in the pot. If they’re there, soak the root ball and gently tease them apart.

It’s a bit of a gamble—but with moist soil and a slow hand, it usually works.

If there’s too much resistance, stop. We don&#039;t want to snap anyone&#039;s head off.

Thousands of bees, all looking for a new home.

The largest cluster was in my tree. Once I moved them into the nuc box, I held the box on the fence where the rest of the swarm was underneath the tree.

When the queen is inside, everything shifts—the others follow.

It takes time (this one had me standing on a ladder for about 45 minutes), but it’s one of the calmest, most focused moments in beekeeping.

Still one of the most incredible things to witness.

The later varieties are always my favorite - taller, fuller, such a range of fascinating color variations. Is it pink, salmon, apricot, blush, all of them together in one bloom?

I bring in whatever is ready. Tulips, a bit of parsley about to bolt, apricot geum.

It doesn’t need much. Sometimes simple is best.

I didn’t come up with it—my friend @midwaypollinationstation showed me the idea, and I’ve been using some version of it ever since.

It’s just an extension pole and a cut water jug, taped on. Not fancy, but it works.

It lets me reach swarms I’d never attempt with a ladder, and makes the whole process faster and simpler - total game changer!

Sometimes the scrappy solutions are the ones that stick. I don&#039;t even bring a ladder with me to swarm calls anymore <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f41d.png" alt="🐝" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

I walked out thinking I’d harvest a few leaves and ended up with a full basket.

I tend to grow chard in the cool season to avoid leaf miner, and it’s one of those plants that just keeps giving.

Easy to overlook, but always there when you need it.

The same group of eleven women, gathering around a table once a month to cook from the same book. Usually not everyone makes it, but we always have a critical mass for an incredible shared meal. 

This time it was Umma: A Korean Mom’s Kitchen Wisdom by @ahnestkitchen . This was bit of a project cookbook, with recipes that took time and special ingredients. It&#039;s intentional cooking.

I made the honey-garlic chicken, using honey and garlic from my garden. The sauce was sticky and deeply flavorful - one I’ll definitely make again, maybe simplified next time with boneless thighs, tofu, or even jackfruit.

The full table looked like this:
• Oi Kimchi (cucumber)
• Honey-Garlic Chicken
• Dubu Jorim (spicy braised tofu)
• Broccoli Dubu Muchim (seasoned broccoli + tofu)
• Rotisserie chicken cabbage rolls
• Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles)
• Rice
• Rice wine
• Iced corn latte (for dessert)

It&#039;s always the best meal of the month. Yes good food - but also community and laughs and sometimes tears.

These bees came from a neighbor’s hive, and I was able to gather them and pass them along to another local beekeeper.

This is exactly why I started a neighborhood bee club years ago—so we could help each other when moments like this happen.

Still one of the most amazing things to witness.

A few years ago, after visiting gardens in England, I came home convinced that the secret wasn’t rarity or perfection, but quantity of what you love most.

Plant more than you think. Let it feel abundant.

Now, for a few weeks each spring, the garden feels like it’s singing from every corner. I&#039;ve also planted a mix of early-to-late varieties, to stretch the season. 

I&#039;ve applied this methodology of abundance to every month in my garden. There&#039;s a huge quantity of whatever my very favorite plant is for that month, and it takes center stage.

There’s enough of these blooms that I don’t feel the need to ration them. I bring a handful inside each week and still feel surrounded by them outdoors.

Spring always feels like a quick season, but a generous one.

<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">Our very first homestead was a 700 square foot house in the Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood of southeast Portland, Oregon. The&nbsp;1927 house was painted the dullest light-grey you can imagine and surrounded by patchy lawn. What I saw the first time I set eyes on this meager plot of land was loads of potential for a budding homestead.</p>



<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)">Over the course of eight years we transformed this beat-up house into a much-loved home. It started with sheet mulching the entire front and back yards, building our first chicken coop&nbsp;and planting the first round of edible trees and shrubs. Every year I would cut and divided my favorite perennials, add new plant species and train the fruiting vines.</p>



<p style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)">We painted the house red and added some colorful accent trim to draw out the historic character of the home. We replaced aging infrastructure systems with energy-efficient upgrades to make this home environmentally sustainable from the inside out.</p>

<p>We added a pergola to the center of the garden, which became the &#8220;heart&#8221; of our homestead. Many late summer evenings were spent out there with loved ones watching the sunset over our thriving food forest. Our beloved garden even graced the pages of Country Gardens magazine in their Spring 2013 issue, just a few months after we had welcomed our first child, Juniper.</p>
<p>Not long after, it felt time to pass the torch of our starter homestead onto another eager young couple. Gardens are living things that continually change over time. It will never be the same when we finally said goodbye, but the memories we made there will last forever.</p>

Before planting, check for multiple crowns in the pot. If they’re there, soak the root ball and gently tease them apart.

It’s a bit of a gamble—but with moist soil and a slow hand, it usually works.

If there’s too much resistance, stop. We don&#039;t want to snap anyone&#039;s head off.

Thousands of bees, all looking for a new home.

The largest cluster was in my tree. Once I moved them into the nuc box, I held the box on the fence where the rest of the swarm was underneath the tree.

When the queen is inside, everything shifts—the others follow.

It takes time (this one had me standing on a ladder for about 45 minutes), but it’s one of the calmest, most focused moments in beekeeping.

Still one of the most incredible things to witness.

The later varieties are always my favorite - taller, fuller, such a range of fascinating color variations. Is it pink, salmon, apricot, blush, all of them together in one bloom?

I bring in whatever is ready. Tulips, a bit of parsley about to bolt, apricot geum.

It doesn’t need much. Sometimes simple is best.

I didn’t come up with it—my friend @midwaypollinationstation showed me the idea, and I’ve been using some version of it ever since.

It’s just an extension pole and a cut water jug, taped on. Not fancy, but it works.

It lets me reach swarms I’d never attempt with a ladder, and makes the whole process faster and simpler - total game changer!

Sometimes the scrappy solutions are the ones that stick. I don&#039;t even bring a ladder with me to swarm calls anymore <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f41d.png" alt="🐝" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

I tend to grow chard in the cool season to avoid leaf miner, and it’s one of those plants that just keeps giving.

Easy to overlook, but always there when you need it.

The same group of eleven women, gathering around a table once a month to cook from the same book. Usually not everyone makes it, but we always have a critical mass for an incredible shared meal. 

This time it was Umma: A Korean Mom’s Kitchen Wisdom by @ahnestkitchen . This was bit of a project cookbook, with recipes that took time and special ingredients. It&#039;s intentional cooking.

I made the honey-garlic chicken, using honey and garlic from my garden. The sauce was sticky and deeply flavorful - one I’ll definitely make again, maybe simplified next time with boneless thighs, tofu, or even jackfruit.

The full table looked like this:
• Oi Kimchi (cucumber)
• Honey-Garlic Chicken
• Dubu Jorim (spicy braised tofu)
• Broccoli Dubu Muchim (seasoned broccoli + tofu)
• Rotisserie chicken cabbage rolls
• Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles)
• Rice
• Rice wine
• Iced corn latte (for dessert)

It&#039;s always the best meal of the month. Yes good food - but also community and laughs and sometimes tears.

These bees came from a neighbor’s hive, and I was able to gather them and pass them along to another local beekeeper.

This is exactly why I started a neighborhood bee club years ago—so we could help each other when moments like this happen.

Still one of the most amazing things to witness.

A few years ago, after visiting gardens in England, I came home convinced that the secret wasn’t rarity or perfection, but quantity of what you love most.

Plant more than you think. Let it feel abundant.

Now, for a few weeks each spring, the garden feels like it’s singing from every corner. I&#039;ve also planted a mix of early-to-late varieties, to stretch the season. 

I&#039;ve applied this methodology of abundance to every month in my garden. There&#039;s a huge quantity of whatever my very favorite plant is for that month, and it takes center stage.

There’s enough of these blooms that I don’t feel the need to ration them. I bring a handful inside each week and still feel surrounded by them outdoors.

Spring always feels like a quick season, but a generous one.

Her experience includes edible gardens, permaculture food forests, nature-based playgrounds, multi-family housing (senior living, memory care, affordable housing, etc), public parks and multi-use trails.</p>
<p>Renee has a similar approach to all of her projects: creates outdoor environments that entice people to connect with nature. That can mean growing your own food, supporting native wildlife, or simply having a safe space to seek refuge and recharge. Her design work emphasizes ecologically-sensitive design elements, such as native gardens, low-water plants and local building materials.</p>
<p>Here you will find a small sample of her recent landscape design work. Email Renee(at)HipChickDigs(dot)com to find out more about her design availability.</p>

<p><strong>Chickens</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hipchickdigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/chickens.gif"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2836" title="chickens" src="http://www.hipchickdigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/chickens.gif" alt="Chickens" width="600" height="600"></a>More and more clucking can be heard from the backyards, frontyards and even balconies of our urban neighbors. We&#8217;ve kept a flock of chickens for several years now and are an excellent addition to the modern homestead. In exchange for a little love and care, our girls reward us with fresh eggs, nitrogen-rich manure, and a natural pest control.</p>
<p>Currently we have six lovely ladies: Pearl (Silver Americana), Golda (Golden Americana), Dotty (Speckled Sussex), Juanita (Black Leghorn), Mary (Cuckoo Maran) and Agatha (Belgian d&#8217;Uccle Bantam). We have built so many coops for our various flocks over the years and one of the best ones is included in my book. Here are some of the most popular posts I&#8217;ve written about keeping chickens:</p>

<p><strong>Ducks</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hipchickdigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ducks.gif"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2837" title="ducks" src="http://www.hipchickdigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ducks.gif" alt="Ducks" width="600" height="600"></a></p>
<p>We had a small flock of four Indian runner ducks on our homestead for more eggs, more nitrogen-rich manure, and, let&#8217;s be honest, more entertainment. These girls were an adorable addition to our homestead and a great fit for the rainy, cool Pacific Northwest weather. Their favorite activity (aside from swimming in their kiddie pool) was hunting around the garden for slugs on a wet day.</p>
<p>Ducks are a little noisier than chickens, but the make up for it with their rich eggs about 25% bigger than chickens. They are messier eaters and their poop is a lot bigger than their chicken cousins. Despite these downsides, they are less destructive in the garden since they can&#8217;t scratch up the soil. We eventually relocated the ducks to a nearby farm to simplify our homestead efforts, but still recommend them as a backyard livestock option (just maybe not when you already have chickens and bees and babies). Check out some of my posts about the ducks:</p>

<p>Keeping honeybees takes up very little space, making them a great addition to urban gardens. They increase pollination of your fruit trees (and your neighbors) while providing you with local honey in the summer time. Bees are generally low-maintenance and just need some occasional looking after in the coldest winter months. Here are some posts I have written about keeping honeybees on the modern homestead:</p>

<p>Having a productive homestead doesn&#8217;t mean you need to sacrifice beauty! These are various posts I have written over the years about helpful plants, beautiful garden spaces, outdoor projects and our own homestead design. I hope these give you some inspiring ideas to use in your own home and garden.</p>
