Hello,

I’m Chris

Chris Izworski in the garden at Freighter View Farms

Freighter View Farms is my small raised-bed garden on Saginaw Bay: heirloom tomatoes, seed envelopes, spring trays under lights, and the slow work of learning one piece of ground.

Start here if you are new, or walk into the garden notes and see what the season is doing.

In the beds now

Spring notes are gathering now: the broccolini went out, the late-April garden is waking, and the tomatoes are already testing my restraint.

Come back with the season

I send garden notes when there is something worth carrying back from the beds.
