Fall Food & Beverage from the garden

 We have been enjoying our home made beer- We actually grew the hops and our friend came over to brew and we cut the hops, measured and bloosh! right into the hot wort!






Here's a view into the hoop house- the last of calendula & tomato land. The calendulas are going to seed or are coming back from being cut way back, and I already have a few lettuce seeds sprouting up! I also have lots of chard seeds, onions, and pak choi to plant.

Hops Are going crazy!

We dug up these hops last year from friends who have cables running up to a 3rd story balcony to support theirs! They did ok last year in my garden, but this year they are showing real vigor! It seems like each year you could dig out the peripheral roots and plant yourself a new patch. My housemates are particularly excited about these hops and plan to make a beer with them when they ripen.

Got Organic Milk?

 Hip English Dairy Farmers in a cute rap video!



That just cracks me up!

Go Grab Your Leaves and Mulch when the sun comes out, or wait for your neighbors to rake them up and grab them! Mulch all your tender plants and in between your leeks! Cliff Mass is predicting a La Nina (cold and wet, with lots of chances for snow in town) this year. Great for Snowboarding, but less good for eating fresh greens from your yard!

I can build a small hoop house (3' wide x 5' high) to help protect your greens from the frost all Winter for less than $60! Salads in January are nice...
