HOMEGROWN POTATOES
Time to harvest our Po-ta-Toes!
Here in So Cal, where we have a to be desired growing season, started the potatoes back in December.
APRIL HARVEST TALLY
Wacky weather whiplash pattern continues. Last week it was a scorching 95 degrees then quicker than you can say “summer’s here?” few days later it’s cold, overcast and raining!
SOMETHING NEW
Anticipating the time in the future of adding some fish into our diet (see ETHICAL EATING) we have been adding tuna to the menu.
URBAN HOME-STAND
Thank you for coming up and making our first( of hopefully many) “Homestand’s” a positive and successful event (estimated nearly 200 dropped in throughout the day). Also a big thank you to those who came bearing homemade gifts and complimentary comments. We appreciate your support!
SPRING?
After what appeared to be the start of a cold and wet winter, 2011 has started off pretty darn dry and warm. So warm that the peach and apple trees are blooming.
FALLING FROM OCTOBER SKY
For the past 3 days there’s been wet stuff falling from the sky! Yep, tis raining! Quite a dramatic change in that it’s 40 degrees COOLER than it was just last week!
REAL FOOD, REAL SIMPLE – URBAN HOMESTEAD MEALS
On the food front… The figs are finally ripe so we devoured our first fig quesadilla of the season. I know, sounds odd but it’s soooo delicious!
JUNE HARVEST TALLY
June is the tipping point month were things can either go up hill or downhill … and fast! So far, we are holding steady. Some things are growing well, while others not so much.
SUMMER SOIL BLOCKING
Now that the first summer planting flush is over, it’s time to get started on the second round of planting. Folks often ask us why is our small garden so productive. One of the main reasons is we have successful succession plantings. When one crop goes out, another one comes in.
