Buy local Buy Detroit ?

I kid you not. Check it out here.. Seriously this is the organization I envisioned for Tulsa when I started this blog. Anyone else like the idea you are welcome to join my efforts.

Down with raised beds? Interesting?

Seems Gene Logdon has some good points. I have been secretly thinking about getting rid of my raised beds and going straight into the dirt. When I was a boy my mother would have thought raised bed gardening was a kooky hippy thing. Now that it is all out in the open I have to confess I have always been too lazy to double dig.

I hope everyone got their plants....

in the ground before all this wonderful. I know I didn't. Oh well can't fret about it now.

I know I know

I have mentioned that I was going to post a picture of the wadding pool garden. I still am I am just a little overwhelmed getting my garden planted, and planting my "Urban Agriculture" Display at OPCG. I have to go and water in a minute. The light should be prefect for some pictures.

Buy Fresh Buy Local.

Farmer's Markets are starting up or the season. I added a link at the bottom of the page. The link re-directs you to the Kerr Foundation. I have not had a lot of time to read the material on the page so I do not know if I agree with it of not. I will post more about the Kerr Foundation in the future.

Lunatic Farmers?

New documentary film show cases Crazy Farmers. Maybe we need more Farmers to lose their minds. It might be a while before the film is screened locally. If it shows up on the Internet I will post a link.

The Bee Buzz

I went to the North East Oklahoma Beekeeper's Association last night. They had a very nice meeting. Even provided food. Of course you mention food I will be there. The speaker gave a very nice presentation about bee plants, and which plants to plant to provide bees with pollen and nectar through out the year. I might ask her to speak at a TCGA meeting. When the plant list is up on NEOBA website I will post a link.
