Well, not all of it, but a goodly chunk of it. As a requested, here is my Great Grandpa Abe's bagel recipe. 2 pkg yeast 2 cups warm ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=103 We're moving! Our new apartment is in a coop building with a ground floor courtyard. The owners are thrilled that I compost, are happy to let me to lead the composting effort for the building, and are letting me have at the yard to do what I want. They may even ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=102 The harvest is all in, with the exception of all the delicious herbage and greenery that I am using as cover crops this year due to unknown toxic loads. (Still unable to find a lab willing to do small scale test for under $500.) Time to evaluate this superweird gardening ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=98 Several folks have asked why there haven't been more updates: the skeeters have driven me out of the garden. Even running down with DEET on for two minutes to dump compost and grab as many tomatoes as I can, I get bitten all to hell through my clothes. ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=92 Again with the rain.

I know they're from Silver Heights Farm Nursery, and that I put them ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=86 I went to the Center for Urban Pedagogy's Goo Gone event the other day about the nomination of the Gowanus for Superfund status.

While my ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=85 Today's harvest is the last of the peas, First Beans (!), rosemary, chives and thyme to take to a party. In addition, I'm bringing bounty from the Borough Hall farmer's market: Eightball Zucchini, sweet potatoes, garlic scapes, red spring onions, beets and more for grilling. Everything local, and everything gorgeous. ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=84 I was just passing messages back and forth with Christa about hating to harvest. As seen below, my veggies look so happy that I am loathe to bother them. The Cascadian peas are sweet and dripping with rain: I don't know when to harvest the Red Russian Kale, but it looks ... http://precisionaccidents.com/wordpress/?p=78 So much news makes me despair. I think this project is one of the most hopeful I've seen in years. From their website: The Farmer-Veteran Coalition seeks to help our returning veterans find employment, training, and places to heal on America’s farms.
