Excerpt:

In this episode we visit with Joe’s Associate Producer of Growing a Greener World, and urban homesteading expert, Theresa Loe. Joe, Nathan and Patti descend on Theresa’s small but productive urban garden in LA to see first-hand how this popular blogger and trained Master Canner incorporates enough produce aesthetically to feed her family of four. Annuals and perennials are intermingled with vegetables, herbs, fruit and chickens for a visually pleasing yet highly productive garden and outdoor learning environment for her two young boys.

From her blog:

Although Theresa grew up in the city, she comes from a engineering family who was also very crafty. She learned many homesteading skills as a young child. She has done everything from raising silk worms, making cheese, curing olives, fermenting sauerkraut and churning butter to curing venison jerky and making homemade wine.

On Theresa’s current urban homestead, every available space is filled with edible plants and flowers. She grows over 55 different culinary herbs and 50 different vegetables. Espaliered apple trees line her property as well as several potted citrus trees and berry bushes. She also grows many different roses and cut flowers. You can find mushroom filled logs in her herb garden and various edible sprouts growing on her kitchen windowsill.
