Mindfulness and the Urban Farmer

The Russian Comfrey is really something to see this year. As is the yarrow, marshmallow, and of course the many living things that have been here for years before I even was. But seriously tonight looking at the comfrey I planted only a few years back I was in awe of how someday soon the … Continue reading Mindfulness and the Urban Farmer

Arugula Every Darn Day

It’s a good mantra since I have plenty of it. Several years ago in the early spring I planted some in a bed with other spicy mustard greens that I let go to seed. Now it’s everywhere. A more prudent gardener might tell you that arugula is a cool weather crop, but I’m here to … Continue reading Arugula Every Darn Day

Be More Like Kale

The weather has been at best unpredictable here in the south Puget Sound. A couple weeks ago I threw a bunch of old Lacinato kale seeds in a tray to see what would happen. And despite the wind, snow, rain, and all the years that have passed since the sun shone on those pods I … Continue reading Be More Like Kale

Meet the Cast: Violet de Provence

She doesn’t look like much, but wait ’til this summer! This is Violet de Provence, a French heirloom artichoke with a purple flower. I decided to grow this variety because after visiting France this year I am obsessed with all things Provence. You would be too, that place is the closest thing to heaven on … Continue reading Meet the Cast: Violet de Provence
