Black Collar P.I.

Stories from ashes leftover and sifted through. Every contact in life leaves a trace. Whether it be a physical piece of a puzzle or a mental imprint in our mind.

Alpine Dreams

Time to get it done. If not now - then when? As I approach the big 5 0 - I am in conflict with none other than yours truly. Mid life crisis? No - I lived in and through my share of crisis way before midlife. I’m a survivor. It’s time for some good old fashioned carpe diem in my life. Not going to let this milestone pass without seeing significant life improvements realized.

Recently I set a goal based on a dream. Thanks Jeff Johnson for some inspiration!

Assess. Define. Choose. Persevere. Dedicate. This is what it will take to see it through. Finding balance, happiness, simplicity within and around me has always been a challenge for me. Time to master my own life and succeed where I have only failed before. I want this. I will have this. This will be better this is what my soul seeks. From this place other dreams become possibilities.

Goal #1 - April 25 2020 - Bad ass Alpine Fitness. 50 kilometer trail run Horsehow Bay to Deep Cove and then 50 pitches of climbing.

Pre-brambles!

Hello and welcome to my blog! Thanks for dropping by :). Before we get our hands dirty, I thought I’d spill the beans on what this business-en-herbe is all about, from what inspired it to how it works on the practical side of things. Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’m here to hear and will gladly answer. 

Easy Peasy Garden Co. is a passion project rooted in childhood summers spent in my parents’ enormous veggie patch, informed by a gap years’ experience working on organic farms in Europe, and more recently, in my own small urban garden/humble Eden. My goal is to give you the confidence to experiment with growing and tending to your own plants in an all-natural, organic context whether you’d like to turn a big backyard into a mini-farm, or just bring some floral fun to your balcony. So, how does it work?

We start with a consultation/conversation that covers your goals and budget, then I make a detailed plan and schedule working sessions. My level of involvement in soil preparation, planting, and maintenance adapts to your needs and desires. This is not a landscaping service per se, but I also offer weekly or biweekly drop-ins to tend to your plants if you are unavailable or need advice throughout the summer. I am also happy to aid in sourcing and/or purchasing seeds, plants and tools. 

I hope this blurb helps to clarify what exactly Easy Peasy Garden Co. is all about. I will be updating this blog with tips and tricks, articles, inspiration and my own thoughts on the urban gardening experience from time to time, so be sure to swing back on by whenever the fancy takes you! 

Green thumbs up! May peas be upon you and yours.
