RoofGrown - Growing the Future. The purpose of this blog is to promote, inspire and encourage global sustainability in all forms. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Spring in Minnesota is a mixed bag. Not much you can do about the crazy weather which happens to be really crazy during March. Almost as if it can't quite give up winter without a fight. However, it usually succumbs and when it does, I am almost always ready for it. Brooms can be weapons of mass destruction, ask my shrubs. Gastro-Geek - my new blog!

RoofGrown - Growing the Future. The purpose of this blog is to promote, inspire and encourage global sustainability in all forms. Friday, September 14, 2012. This may seem a bit odd, but I have discovered that melons not only do best for me when grown off the ground but giving them vertical supports also makes it much easier for me, too.

RoofGrown - Growing the Future. The purpose of this blog is to promote, inspire and encourage global sustainability in all forms. Monday, September 5, 2011. First Garlic of the Season. Crappy picture, I know, but just look at my garlic. Sure, it isn't the largest bulb you've ever seen but homegrown garlic is SO much better than store-bought that I now grow it every single year. I am attempting to double up my crop every season just so I won't have to horde it like a stingy rat. Labels: German Red garlic.

These are some of the new Colorblends tulips and daffodils that I planted in the Fall. I think this orange mix is called "Threedom". The tulips are a yellow version with peach centers that are very cheerful with the orange mixes. We loved this blend and it lasted the entire month of April, about 4 weeks of continuous blooms.
