DINNER

Angela Hartnett’s midweek suppers: These flavours complement each other perfectly in this easy-to-make dish

Pruned My Rose Bushes Today

There’s something like eight thorns stuck in my hands. I have specific gardening shoes yet I somehow do not have gloves.

We bought a pear tree for the front yard today, as well. We now have blackberries, strawberries, figs, Meyer lemons and Concord grapes growing at our place, fruit-wise.


Also, there are three patches of plants that popped up in our yard over the last week that are identical. I have a feeling they’re lilies but does anyone have a good way to identify a plant without typing in “what is the twisty green thing in my yard” on Google?

TOILETS ON MY BRAIN

Since I’m great with child, we’re moving our wedding up to 8 WEEKS from now. And we’re totally DIYing it by having it in our backyard. The only thing we can’t DIY are toilet facilities, unless we provide our guests with chamber pots. I never thought I’d be thinking so much about the right price and location for a PortaJohn (or luxury porta-trailer!) in my yard.

speakerforthetrees: rawlivingfoods: Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries; herbs; and more. All will be available for public plucking to anyone who wanders into the city’s first food forest. “This is totally innovative, and has never been done before in a public park,” Margarett Harrison, lead landscape architect for the Beacon Food Forest project, tells TakePart. Harrison is working on construction and permit drawings now and expects to break ground this summer. The concept of a food forest certainly pushes the envelope on urban agriculture and is grounded in the concept of permaculture, which means it will be perennial and self-sustaining, like a forest is in the wild. Not only is this forest Seattle’s first large-scale permaculture project, but it’s also believed to be the first of its kind in the nation. Read More So proud!!!
