Marigolds

they keep the bad bugs out and invite the right ones in.

you could learn a lot from a marigold

I have been learning a lot from the older folk at the community garden

they come on gently asking me question to assess whether i know anything about anything

then its on for a least a half an hour

good bugs, bad bugs, what grows, what doesn't, what keeps the dear away, oh hey look at that blue bird...

I am leaving for Chicago on wednesday for a printmaking conference. I am going to have to pack up all my planting stuff and bring it along. hopefully our hotel room gets good sun light.

Brussel Sprouts

I grew these in my garden for the first time last year.

Its magical really. The plant grows just like broccoli with big broad leaves and a thick stem but the little baby cabbages grow in the arm pits of the leaves. amazing! i moved before i could havest them last year.

The community garden it going wonderfully. We got horse poop for the beds today and my friends with chickens are going to give me their poop. I have honestly considered pooping in a bucket my self...im vegan it should theoretically make good compost right?
