Yesterday, I cleaned up the lower garden. I pulled the last of the spring crops and harvested lots of veggies. I found some injured zucchini stems and ”bandaged” them by smothering them in a mound of dirt (3rd and 4th pics). I do the same thing when I see split stems created by squash borers. It works! BTW, a good way to catch squash borers is to put a plank of wood in the garden. They’ll crawl under it and voila, you’ll catch the culprits. #backyardfarm #youcandoit #zucchini #tomatoes #onions #carrots #chard #beans #basil #parsley #grapes * * * * * #urbanfarmer #kitchengarden #raisedbeds #raisedbedgardening #ihatechiggers
So happy to see my old friend, Mariah, selling homemade vegan soul food bowls at The Richland Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. She also caters. Her business is called The Radical Rabbit. Check out her beautiful website and Instagram page @radicalrabbit_

The Dish Room. We sometimes refer to this one @thenashvillefoodproject as the meditation room as not too many people bother you when you are in there scrubbing. There are sanitation rules that need to be followed in a commercial kitchen. There are usually three sinks. The first one is for washing, the next is for rinsing, and the last is for sanitizing. Once rinsed every item needs to drip dry; nothing can be dried with a towel. In the last photo, you can see the 14 full-sized sheet pans, used for roasting potatoes for 600 kids, air drying. #growcookshare #minfullnessinthedishroom #lovethisplace
Harvest. Cook. Repeat. @judyschickens Marinara Sauce. It's on the blog (link in bio). Rather than can plain tomatoes, I briefly cook 8 pounds at time and freeze the sauce in one quart containers. Easy peasy recipe. I don't peel the tomatoes and I show you an easy way to remove the seeds in the recipe. #marinara #italian #kitchengarden #youcandoit
I don’t mean to obsess over corn’s golden pollen tassels but there’s the wonder of it all and I keep wondering. Like how did I go my whole life without taking a closer look at the pollen tassels alive with bees buzzing and pollen grains (the male sex cell) falling? And how about the way the pollen sacks subtly flutter in what appears to be a windless day? And instead of finding corn silk annoying why did I not wonder at its purpose? What else have I missed?
