Interview with Modern Cowboy, my Son
Interview with Modern Cowboy, my Son – The latest offering on Late Bloomer | Urban Organic Garden Show is an interview I recorded with my son in Pescadero, California, two weeks ago. Combined with photos I’ve taken over three trips to TomKat Ranch, my sound editor Christina Horgan, created a slideshow to accompany the podcast, which is also available on SoundCloud.

Fine son you have there Kaye! So cool he got his inspiration from you and your Urban Garden!
Thanks, Scott, much appreciated. I think he’s more attracted to the wild outdoor work life than growing plants, but I hope there is a shift at some point. And I hope more young people find growing food sustainably attractive.
How are you? Haven’t heard from you in a long time. How did your project/experiment go? I think I recall you did not get your funding. I am, for the first time, reaching out to fans of Late Bloomer to raise funds for Season 6. If there is enough support, I will keep going. Happy Holidays!
