Great Garlic!
In February of 2008 (that’s about 15 months ago!) I decided to plant garlic. Instead of taking the traditional route, where I’d go buy seed, or starter cloves from the garden store, I decided to go to the local co-op, and just buy some organic garlic and break up the cloves myself. Garlic from the [...]

Today, as I was reading the news, I ran across the weather forecast and it said to expect snow. “Snow? Seriously?” was my audible gasp that echoed through the house. But, after a moment to collect myself, I remembered that it is indeed only February, and that there were still 24 days remaining until it [...]

You all know how much I am in love with tomatoes. In reality, I think of tomatoes as the centerpoint of my garden patch, and everything else as secondary to them. As much as I love the herbs, and flowers and lovely lettuces, they are the all accessories to the tomatoes. Here in the Pacific [...]

So the peas are done for the first half of the season. The pea pods now over sized and no longer sweet. I pulled the plants today, shelling the rest of the peas right in the garden. This just makes it easier to get the shells into the compost. The peas are still sweet and [...]

I am thoroughlly pleased with the progress the tomatoes have made thus far. Although, I am a bit afraid of the future without tomato cages. As I mentioned in a previous entry, I’ve decided to take on a bit of a different tack with the tomatoes this year, and stake them in the French Potager [...]

Well the potatoes survived the digging and re-digging of the now re-homed of the raccoon. As they came up on only one side of the barrel I wasn’t sure. But as they grew I continued to fill the barrel with soil. Now the barrel is full – so full I will need to remove soil [...]

With Memorial Day as the unofficial harbinger of summer, it seemed almost sacriligious not to grill! After spending some time in the afternoon working at the JustFood restaurant space, we came up with a little impromptu dinner that turned out really nicely. With a fresh salad from the garden, and mustard greens ready to saute, [...]

Yes, it is that time of year again, when Mutual Fish has the great insight to ship soft shell crabs directly from Maryland so all us ex-Easterners can get a taste of the other coast. Growing up on the Jersey shore, Blue Claw Crabs were a big part of our summers and to actually catch [...]

Boe had a lot of kale from last winter that needed to be used, as it was making too much shade for other garden tenants, and so this is what I came up with… p.s. the fresh squeezed orange juice with the balsamic is a wonderful flavor mix and can be used on chicken & [...]

Hello to all! Cinco De Mayo is this Saturday which for me brings to mind the start of Summer Foods, back yard entertaining, grilling, BBQ, margaritas and cervezas aplenty, and of course the Farmers Market (which starts Friday @ Union & MLK in the parking lot of the Grocery Outlet, here in the Central District [...]
