http://starworksgarden.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 24, 2011. My apologies for not blogging for a while. Plenty has been going on, and I will try to give a little overview of more important happenings. For the third year in a row STARworks Garden, with the help of Greg Bender and Hugh Martin, held Shiitake and Oyster mushroom cultivation workshops. Hugh first guided us through some basics via Power Point presentation. Then it was time to roll up the sleeves and get to work. Alice Clemens here, having fun drilling the logs. Santiago brought...

Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I need to begin with apology - we had to cancel the Wild Edibles workshop last weekend, due to the lack of people signing up. I have consulted with Alan Muskat, and our new dates for the. Wild Edibles and Mushrooms workshop is SEPTEMBER 24. More detailed information coming soon! Otherwise - things are going well in the garden! This is one of my favorite combinations - Russian Sage with day-lilies. Beets have grown really well this year! They were so tender and fresh!

STARworks Garden: It is bloom time
http://starworksgarden.blogspot.com/2012/03/it-is-bloom-time.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. It is bloom time. Plum is in full bloom. Peach is following close by and pear is chasing both. Look closely. Who do you see on this picture? I've identified those as Harlequin bugs. Stinky, ferocious, un-relentless buggers. They usually show up sometime in June. Well It is NOT JUNE! But those guys were on my overwintered Arugula, having. A party. Squashed them all. It is only a glimpse of what awaits us this summer. March 12, 2012 at 12:13 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

STARworks Garden: Summer in the garden
http://starworksgarden.blogspot.com/2012/05/summer-in-garden.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. Summer in the garden. I have been too busy with real life, to keep up with the blog, but here's an over-due report on what's been going on. A few weeks ago we held a workshop "Seed to Flower" with Star Elementary first graders. 43 kids total - together in the garden! We managed well, working in two groups - planting seeds and painting garden labels that the kids could take home with a seed packet. All the seeds have germinated and the sunflowers and zinnias are growing well! Same go...

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. First Annual STARworks Glass Pumpkin Patch - a success! The last Saturday's early morning sunlight really brought the glass pumpkins, that Nick. And his helpers had made - to life. I couldn't stop taking pictures! Here are some of my favorites. As we set everything up, I wondered, how many people would come out to Star, on their Saturday morning, to splurge on Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. Even if they were enticing. It's lucky no fights broke out:). Links to this post.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Salad greens were short lived this spring, while carrots and beets grew beautifully. RIght now it's the time for cucumbers - I like to trellis them up on like that:. The sunflowers, planted by first graders, have grown so tall! Harvested some gigantic one-clove garlic this year! I wish I could dedicate a big plot to garlic only - it's so rewarding to pull them out in June - and use them all year round! But here are the pretty Red Pontiac potatoes. The grape vine is full of fruit!
