After a sad week in Michigan for Jeff’s mother’s funeral, we rented a cabin in the Arizona pines for the rest of August. We brought our easels and paints for a self-styled artists’ retreat. In the photos above Jeff is working on a 12 x 12” painting, part of his ongoing series of clouds and geometric shapes. Farraday is working on a painting of a ponderosa pine and a juniper.

A Rim Country Garden Visit with Dave Owens and Laurie Mahoney

Jeff Reich, untitled, acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12”, 2019

While we were there, Jeff continued training for his upcoming September marathon that will be in the Cascade Mountains of WA. Meanwhile, Farraday logged many miles hiking and exploring the region. Skye, our dog, got to enjoy it all!

We were fortunate enough to meet Dave Owens and his wife Laurie Mahoney by chance last year during our stay in the Arizona pines. This summer we were delighted to get to know them better during a very enjoyable visit to their Arizona Rim Country farm and home.

Dave has dedicated his career to educating and inspiring Sonoran Desert gardeners with organic gardening techniques for the hot desert climate.  https://gardenguy.com

Laurie is dedicated to the study and preparation of natural, herbal medicinals and is an avid gardener.

Dave Owens, The Garden Guy, generously picking collard greens for us at his high country home and farm in Arizona’s Rim Country.

Dave has written several very popular gardening books for gardeners in the low desert.

He also has a gardening show on Channel 3 in Phoenix.

Dave and Laurie are growing hops, the vine to the right. Laurie is harvesting the pale yellowish flowers to prepare tinctures for medicinal uses that include treating insomnia and anxiety.

Their farm occupies land first homesteaded in the mid-1800’s. Once river bottom, the soil is naturally rich.

Dave and Laurie’s farm is comprised of an apple orchard and five large, fenced, gardened areas. The tall fencing is necessary to keep out elk and any number of other hungry animals. Animals are not the only threat to crops here though. This year saw a very heavy, very late snowfall that wiped out the normally large heirloom tomato crop, as well as many other freeze sensitive spring plantings.

Their newest project is a recently planted vineyard that includes tempernillo and cabernet varietals. The vines were planted bareroot and have leafed out nicely. The vineyard is drip irrigated. The copper plate on the fence post, right photo, is marked CAB for cabernet. All of the rows are similarly labelled. Production should begin in three to five years!

This building on the property was built by the original farming homesteaders in the 1860’s. It is the only remaining structure from that time and has always been a shed. Dave showed us an old  b&w photo of the original home, now gone, which housed the family and their livestock under one roof.

There is a row of very old, very tall pear trees on the property. The trees towered above us at least thirty feet. We had to crane our necks to peer up into them. There was fruit on the branches.
