Ted here! I’ll be leading a Beginner Gardening workshop at the Memphis Mushroom Festival on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 from 10:30 – 12:30. The web is full of resources for gardeners–so much so that it can be overwhelming. Here are a few that I find really useful: What to plant (based on your area): USDA …
We’ve decided to spend the next year exploring what homesteading means and how we can move in that direction. It’s a big word with lots to unpack. For us, it means making more and wasting less, growing or raising what you can, and being careful with our energy use and choices. Being good stewards of the earth.
…aaaaand, we have an ice cream churn. This is probably a bad development overall, since it takes less than an hour to make a batch of ice cream and the result is better than what we can find in the store (and gluten free). I’ll be honest here: I like Ice Cream waaaay too much, …
No CSA? No hog shares? Are we even still here? Yep. We are here and working on improvements around the farm. A CSA is a labor of love as much as one of economy, and while we still love the farm we both work off the farm to make ends meet. Ellie is a GIS …
Last week of the Spring 2016 CSA! In the bag this week: Spring onions: Garlic: Broccoli greens: Green kale: Lacinato, AKA Tuscan, kale: Cabbage: Basil: We’re off to deliver veggies–more details and photo later!
It is raining. Again. We’re not ones to complain–if it was a dry spring we’d be wishing for rain. We had enough of a dry spell mid-week to plant okra, corn, and purple-hulled peas, though they may not produce until late summer. This week: Cabbage for All! This is exciting for us; up until this …
There is a lot of love in this week’s box. It isn’t just that we love veggies, or that kale is showing us a lot of love this year. It’s the beets. We love beets. A few years ago we had the Year of the Beet, in which all of our beets grew to full …
Welcome to the 4th week of the spring CSA! State of the Garden Every year is different. This year we have plenty of kale and cabbage (the cabbage is just starting to come in) but some of our old friends have suffered from too much rain at exactly the wrong times. Our first two plantings …
We love spring! Part of the joy is the growth of the season–but part is the surprise factor. Every year is a little different based on weather, shifts in weed and pest populations, stray deer, and other wildcards. Three years ago, for example, we refer to as “the year of the beet” because all of …
Your second CSA delivery has been dropped off! This week you’ve got turnips and turnip greens, a different variety of kale, spring onions, baby garlic, baby kale, and radishes. Hit us up with questions and comments–or pictures of your CSA dinners–here on the blog or on our Facebook page. For more recipe ideas, you can …
