Green Roof And Vegetable Patch - Green Thumb Sunday
2008-05-11 20:26:00 How To Join Green Thumb SundayGreen Thumb Sunday BlogrollOr checkout Green Thumb Sunday on Technorati The Green Roof on my shed has surpassed all my expectations even before any of the seeds have come into flower. Their is so much colour and every day when I pop up to have a look something different has come into flower or the seeds are that bit further on. It will be interesting from this point on to see how the plants cope with the drier weather, this might be the best that it will do, or if we have a little rain every now and then it will only get better. My neighbours are loving it to and it causes quite a lot of comment from the ones that can see it. The vegetable patch is also doing very nicely and it wont be long before the first veggies sampled. The radishes are growing by the minute and I reckon we will be eating them by next weekend.I do seem to be suffering a little from sudden veggie death syndrome. After a bit of investigation I discovered it was leatherjackets who were...

?If we save a vegetable but we don?t save the recipes and the farmers don?t
2008-04-30 03:25:00 drawing by marguerita- previously published OP Ed NYTimes - June 26,1976SOME people would just as soon ignore the culinary potential of the Carolina flying squirrel or the Waldoboro green neck rutabaga. To them, the creamy Hutterite soup bean is too obscure and the Tennessee fainting goat, which keels over when startled, sounds more like a sideshow act than the centerpiece of a barbecue.But not Gary Paul Nabhan. He has spent most of the past four years compiling a list of endangered plants and animals that were once fairly commonplace in American kitchens but are now threatened, endangered or essentially extinct in the marketplace. He has set out to save them, which often involves urging people to eat them.?The daunting thing is that so much about American traditional foods comes out of people?s heads and isn?t in any book,? he said.http://www.nytimes.com/200-8/04/30/dining/30come.html?hpht-tp://www.environment.nau.edu/ab-outcse/Gary_Paul_Nabhan.htm

Disposing and Managing Vegetable and Animal Oil Household Waste
2008-04-13 14:59:00 I think Marikina, the place I am very proud to live in has started another inovative and environment friendly waste management strategy. I think this is what they call the household hazardous waste program, somewhere else. This strategy entails collecting used animal and vegetable oils from community dwellers with the end goal of generating bio-diesel from the collected waste.In other words, recycling. In our subdivision, they have began doing this just this afternoon. I said 'I think' at the beginning of this post because I am not actually sure :-) I hope it's not one of those "trying to have another business" group planning another business venture. I am praying it is 'Munisipyo'-initiated.I remember seeing a news report about an unscrupulous group passing off waste cooking oil as newly refined. WTF is the matter with these people's conscience? But I digress. Normally, vegetable or animal oils will have to be “stabilized for disposal. Landfills are not allowed to ac...
?trying to get by on cookies made with dirt, vegetable oil and salt?
2008-04-12 21:50:00 I have talked about ethanol time and again on the blog, not only about the subsidies for ethanol, not only about the fact that it is a bigger pollutant than gasoline, but ethanol is causing food shortages and an increase in food prices. Investor’s Business Daily has an article that outlines what happens when the government decides pay to burn food for fuel: In America, the federal government pushes the production of ethanol from corn with a rich mix of tax incentives and protectionism. Refiners get a 51-cent tax credit for every gallon of ethanol they produce and are shielded from cheaper imported ethanol with a 54-cent-a-gallon tariff. The result, totally by design, is that a huge swath of the U.S. corn crop that would otherwise go to food for people and animals is diverted to ethanol. The National Corn Growers Association says 2.3 billion bushels of corn, or nearly a fifth of U.S. production, went into ethanol in 2007. That’s up 28% in just one year. It also is 18% of...
A Brief Guide To Vegetable Gardening
2008-04-12 04:54:00 Many people are into vegetable gardening nowadays, and they are even getting their supply of vegetables from their gardens. Of course, this makes the vegetables much cheaper, and in addition the vegetables taste much better too. Actually, vegetable gardening is quite similar to gardening for shrubs and herbs. With just a little care, these plants can produce excellent vegetables for consumption. The size of the garden needs to be decided beforehand. Select a place where the drainage is good, there is good supply of air and healthy soil. Sunlight is most important. One more thing to do is to fence your garden, because there will be several animals trying to get a bite or more at your vegetables. For mice, moles and other rodents, you will need to use a trap somewhere in the garden. You will have to prepare the soil before planting the vegetables. Organic fertilizers are good for vegetable gardening. You will also need to plow the soil to eradicate weeds and to add mulch to the soil. ...

Baked Vegetable Samosas
2008-04-02 03:08:00 I love samosas, but it’s hard to find a good one in my neighborhood in Baltimore. Now, before you tell me that there is not just one, but four Indian restaurants (actually, two of them are Indian/Nepali) within a 10 minute walk of my apartment, let me tell you something first: I’ve had samosas from three of the places (the fourth opened just a month ago), and none of them have been good. They’ve either been really greasy or the filling was flat-out bad (or both). So, what’s a girl to do? Well, of course, the answer is to make her own. But wait – said girl (that would be me) hates deep-frying. I decided that the way to get around that problem would be to use puff pastry as the wrapper for the spiced potato and peas filling, and then to bake the samosas. The puff pastry is rolled out a bit so that it doesn’t get too puffy (thereby more closely resembling a regular samosa), but it is still light, flaky, and moist. The best part is that these samosas are incredib...

The Basics of Vegetable Gardening
2008-03-29 04:07:00 Before taking up the garden vegetables individually, I shall outline the general practice of cultivation, which applies to all. The purposes of cultivation are three to get rid of weeds, and to stimulate growth by (1) letting air into the soil and freeing unavailable plant food, and (2) by conserving moisture. As to weeds, the gardener of any experience need not be told the importance of keeping his crops clean. He has learned from bitter and costly experience the price of letting them get anything resembling a start. He knows that one or two days' growth, after they are well up, followed perhaps by a day or so of rain, may easily double or treble the work of cleaning a patch of onions or carrots, and that where weeds have attained any size they cannot be taken out of sowed crops without doing a great deal of injury. He also realizes, or should, that every day's growth means just so much available plant food stolen from under the very roots of his legitimate crops. Instead of l...

Raised Bed Vegetable Garden
2008-03-27 00:40:00 Providence willing, there comes a time when one may experience the luxury of reliving cherished childhood memories. For me, one such is backyard vegetable gardening. Growing up in Clearwater, our family led by Dad the gentleman farmer, kept up a big garden over the years.Last weekend, I set out to create my version of the backyard garden by banging together some raised bed containers from yellow pine 2x10s. That job done, I started looking for a source of decent topsoil. No luck on craig's list and the bags at the garden centers are too expensive.So, before I let my fingers do the dreaded walking, I'm asking the SH blog community for suggestions for whom to call for delivery of a couple of yards of decent ("organic"?) topsoil I can use as a start in creating my "special blend".Any ideas? Any childhood gardening memories to share?

S is for Salsify...the forgotten vegetable!
2008-03-19 15:52:00 It seems that the letter S has its fair share of unusual vegetables. After samphire, we moved on to Salsify. "Its the forgotten vegetable,? said the grocer. ?It?s as if people don?t know that it exists and wouldn?t know what to do with it.? He was right. When I googled the word salsify there were countless entries from seed companies. Yet they hardly ever appear for sale. I had seen them in markets in France and Italy but much of Britain seems to have chosen to neglect them. The grocer was delighted to be able to sell me salsify. I took the bus to a grocers where there bundles of what looked like stumpy black wands stacked on display. This was black salsify, also known as scorzonera. A small pink label told me it came from a farm in Belgium. Salsify and scorzonera are both root vegetables. One is long and thin with light-brown whiskery skin. It is related to scorzonera which has much darker roots with skin like tree bark. I picked up Freddie from school. A small crowd of his friends...
Starting A Vegetable Garden
2008-03-19 05:37:00 Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes, this is what you get by starting a vegetable garden. When you can't find fresh vegetables locally, try growing your own, starting small and planting what you like to eat is the first step. Make sure that all your plants need the same growing requirements and not needing more time and attention that you can give them. If you are starting small, don't start with a large variety, more of the same will be best if you won't always have the same amount of time to devote on your garden.Planting on a cool day (if you can) as opposed to a hot sultry one will cause less stress on you and your plants. Water your plants in the pots they came in the day before you plan to plant them and never leave them in the pots in the sun, they will Dry Out. Loosen the roots before planting, this gives them room to spread out and grow when transplanted into the ground. Plant the plant at the same depth as the pot it came out of, not to high or the roots wil...

Rocks on Stocks ? Vegetable oils in crisis too
2008-03-13 21:21:00 EventVegetable oil supply could be entering a crisis. It is being affected by some of the same issues that are causing the spike in coal prices.ImpactChina is finally acknowledging that rapeseed crops have been significantly affected by the snowstorms. The latest reports are that it has lost 1.8m tonnes of rapeseed, representing 4.6% of its vegetable oil production (1.8m tonnes of seed yields about 680,000 tonnes of oil).To cope with this loss, China will have to dig into its vegetable oil reserves. According to the US Dept of Agriculture, these inventories currently stand at around 740,000 tonnes and are completely held in soy. Removing 680,000 tonnes from this would leave 60,000, equivalent to only one day of use.Actual crop losses could be higher than this, and the quality of Chinese inventory is not clear, so the true situation could be a lot worse.China will clearly have to buy a lot more vegetable oil this year. The question is, from where? In our recent major report on the ou...

Top 3 Tips For Planning A Vegetable Garden
2008-03-07 19:24:00 When planning a vegetable garden, there are several things to consider. Let's talk about the top 3 things to do as you begin to plan your garden. Carefully planning a vegetable patch will you save time, work, money and space.The first thing you should consider in your planning is the location of your garden.
