Lara Janzen - CCAA 2024

Lara Janzen is a ..."person who enjoys all art forms who has discovered the joys of the visual art form of photography. Nature has always fed Lara's soul and combining her love of the outdoors and the craft of capturing light with a camera is a great joy for her. 

A great day for Lara is capturing a beautiful scene in the early morning or latter part of the evening, maybe even staying up until the wee hours for the Milky Way and, if fortunate, repeating the day.

This exhibit is on display at the Hoodland Public Library through April 10th through the Artist Exhibit Program with thanks to Clackamas County Arts Alliance.

Any questions or inquiries should be directed to the artist:

What I Have Been Reading

I recently read, The Container Victory Garden by Maggie Stuckey, and not only does she share stories about historical victory gardens, but she offers her guidance to those that want a garden but do not have the outdoor space by sharing her experience with container gardens.

This book is for beginners, and I must confess, I am still a beginner when it comes to growing my own food, but I wanted to share a fun suggestion that Maggie had. One of her rules is to have no bare dirt in her containers. If there is a bare spot she will plant something that does not need a lot of room, like a garlic clove, and then harvest garlic scapes.

As I have been preparing the donations sent to us from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, I found that they sent us the perfect tomato plant for containers. This tomato is called Orange Hat and it is described as: “[these] extra-dwarf bush plants reach just 6-9 inches in height but the plants are wildly prolific, offering oodles of tiny orange orbs that burst with fruity, sweet flavor. This is the perfect indoor or patio tomato, comfortably fitting in a 4 to 6-inch pot.” I am going to have to give them a try!

Thank you for being here,

--
