Our friends who came to see us this weekend have a great garden. This year, they received tons of volunteer lettuces, more than they can handle. If only I could be so blessed! They brought us 7 big shopping bags full of lettuce and another 2 full of parsley. What a wonderful gift! I washed [...]

I delight in May! I change gears in the kitchen, and I welcome that. The warming weather makes me crave cooler foods. We take many weekend meals outside. We don’t have a table outside, but that doesn’t hinder us. We take a break from our work, wherever it is on the property. I’ll have filled [...]

Oh, my. I was just looking around at the www.sproutman.com website (specifically, his article section). He’s got a link to a PDF article explaining that consuming large amounts of buckwheat greens may cause people to become phototoxic, or sensitive to light. The article cites veterinary scientific research that the author, Gilles Arbour, backs up with [...]

I wrote on August 25, 2007 that I was going to try to grow microgreens.
I royally messed up that first set of microgreens — buckwheat, sunflower and flax. According to Jeff, I sterilized them. That’s because I was so concerned about keeping them warm enough that I kept them covered all the time and they got too [...]

Tomatoes! My favorite fruit. A friend has access to the abundance of extra organic tomatoes from a local farm. She gave us 3 huge boxes of them yesterday.
That gives me some work to do today, making tomato sauce. I’ve never done it before.
I’d love to get more of these tomatoes. She said they’ll have extras until the [...]

I have been buying tons of buckwheat and sunflower microgreens at the Farmer’s Market each week. The people there said that with as much as I buy, I should grow my own. I agree. So they sold me 5 pounds each of whole buckwheat and sunflower seeds. I will plant those and also some flax [...]
