http://veggiegardenblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/peppers-planted.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. I seeded my peppers today along with a few other things. Last year I planted peppers on Feb 14, this year I decided to hold off one more week due to the whole polar vortex nonsense. Granny. Graciously supplied me with the majority of my bell pepper seeds this year. With so many varieties I will be doing a mini trial to see what grows best. Pepper varieties this year will include:. Quadrato Giallo D'Asti (Yellow). Quadrato Tosso D'Asti (Red). Happy Yummy Sweet (Orange). It looks...

http://veggiegardenblog.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2014. In this bed I am growing Granny's. Peppers. Late last year I was admiring Granny's beautiful peppers and I had asked if they tasted as good as greenhouse peppers and that I had never had any luck growing sweet peppers. Before I knew it I had five varieties of peppers arrive in the mail. To return the favor I sent her charentais melon,. Diplomat F1 Broccoli, which I started from seed this year. I think normally I would have already picked broccoli. Must be due to the cold sp...This ...

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Scientist warns of dire consequences. Ignoring potential non-target detrimental side effects of any chemical, especially used as heavily as glyphosate (Monsanto's RoundUp herbicide), may have dire consequences for agriculture such as rendering soils infertile, crops non-productive, and plants less nutritious. To do so might well compromise not only agricultural sustainability, but also the health and well-being of animals and humans.". Read more on this warning here. Chronicles on...

Monday, June 14, 2010. Change the World: Go Organic. If you do just one thing to change the world, go organic.".

Sunday, March 28, 2010. HazMat on the Farm. I found this image along with an article called How to Protect Yourself from 7 Food-System Threats. At Rodale.com.

AN URBAN PLOT: February 2010
http://anurbanplot.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. No one Can Really Know the Price We Will Pay. Over the last few posts, I have focused on reasons to avoid genetically modified food. The reasons are many and I for one am convinced that the path we are on with GMOs in our food supply and environment is the wrong path. I believe that they are harmful in more ways than we can ever imagine. I encourage you to continue to inform yourself and to speak out and take action. Check out the website for GM Watch.
