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...

Fall Veggie Garden Prep Special!

We are now getting to the point where it is almost too late to plant veggies unless you have already bought the plants... So, if you want to make a new garden bed, the easiest way now is to sheet mulch and wait for spring... If you have a place in the garden that you think is a good place for your garden next spring, I can come and tell you what/when to do it, or you can have me out and I will do it for you- If you have leaves in your yard start collecting now!!

This is a great video from the originators of the Backyard Farm concept explaining why they think it is important to grow your own vegetables.
