Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: Caulifroccoli
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2012/11/caulifroccoli.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Sunday, November 4, 2012. One of my "new" plants this year was purple cauliflower. I haven't grown cauliflower before, but not only is purple cauliflower a trendy (and spendy) veggie these days, I also read that it is supposedly easier to grow than white cauliflower. It likes cold weather and early planting, so they were started very early indoors and planted out in April. The only thing was there was very little cauliflower to be found. I let these plants just follow their joy a...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: Mid Summer Report
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/07/midsummer-roundup-at-tiny-happy-farm-i.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Thursday, July 21, 2011. Midsummer roundup at Tiny Happy Farm:. The one I had last year was bright orange, but its babies are every shade between yellow and red. Yay nature! The chickens get fluffier and fluffier :-) No eggs yet. The peppers are setting fruit in abundance, which is encouraging, as my peppers were mostly a flop last year. CAN YOU SEE all those tomato flowers? I don't thing this is even a cherry tomato plant! So mostly positive reviews from me. One mistake I di...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: One-seed landscaping
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/03/one-seed-landscaping.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Monday, March 28, 2011. Two years ago, we bought our first house. As summer approached, my first summer with my very own yard, one thing was clear to me: I needed to plant giant pumpkins. Was it because giant pumpkin cultivation was a life-long dream of mine, finally coming to fruition? I mean, why not! All you need is a couple seeds, which in the case of giant pumpkins, are REALLY BIG! When I took this picture, I thought these leaves were incredibly huge. Giant pumpkins are real...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: December 2011
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Unintentional Hybrids and other adventures in seed-saving. The GARDENING shelf at the library has a lot of books. And plenty of them with local/organic/sustainable/21st-century-hippie themes, as gardening lends itself to these interests. I am steadily chugging my way through all of these books, and inevitably trying a lot of the things I read about. That is pretty much how I ended up with chickens. Just think of them as big delicious seeds. The seeds w...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: Vermicomposting
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/04/vermicomposting.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. You know how every once in a while you will find yourself with an empty can or bottle in your hand, and NO appropriate place to put it? It is increasingly rare, but of course there are still buildings, events, and places in the world without recycling bins. Lately I've realized I now feel the same way about banana peels, carrot tops, and apple cores. Shortly thereafter I was drilling air holes in the top of a Rubbermaid tub. 4- In the bleak cold days of J...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: Mmmmm, Sandwich Mulch....
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/06/mmmmm-sandwich-mulch.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Mmmmm, Sandwich Mulch. Maybe they still make this stuff; I have never looked. When I was little, my mom bought grocery-deli containers of something we just called Sandwich Mulch. Thus, I am not sure what it really was, but if I had to guess I'd say maybe ham salad? We viewed it as a special-occasion food, as I recall, although the special occasion was pretty much. lunch. This blog is not about that. A: No Mulch. (Ham Salad or otherwise). One advantage of t...

Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm: Squash Blossom Season!
http://tinyhappyfarm.blogspot.com/2011/09/squash-blossom-season.html
Tiny Happy (Urban) Farm. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. I have been wanting to cook with squash blossoms for a while now, but in previous years, the opportunity has slipped past while I wondered how to cook them. He loves me not.he loves me! This year I had the perfect inspiration from my friend Katie, whose husband is from Mexico, when she told me he has been hankering for squash blossom quesadillas for years. Step 1: pick some squash blossoms! CHECK IT. OUT. Ok, really they are kind of grey, I know.
