Dangerously organic!
Hello, McRorie Gardeners!
Signs of Spring are all around at the garden! I saw this beautiful robin kicking up a dust storm yesterday. The garden is looking so good! I just planted the first few plants for the upcoming season:…

I dropped by the garden today and took a peek at the lovely plants. That's Shane in the photo above, one of our gardeners, with a turnip. The recent cold weather affected a few. In general, all is well. There are a huge abundance of beautiful, tasty plants in our garden. Click on the photo above to see the set. As for me, I wound up with some tasty mesclun for a salad Christmas eve. I wish…

Hello Zoobird! Yes, here in Gainesville, FL the garden is fine, thanks! I've got lots of plants growing in my patch: my tomatoes, courtesy of Farmer John, are thriving. They have flowered and I'm just waiting for the birds and the bees to do their thing and get the tomatoes going. I planted some spinach and it's doing fine. My biggest challenge is telling sprouts…

My patch at the community garden has blessed me and my friends and family with lots of broccoli and salad greens this past season. The collards were abundant and I made use of some, but this season my collard tastebuds weren't as attracted to the leafy green collard buddies I usually befriend.
End of last week I pulled ut the remains of the broccoli and the collard greens.…

Springtime at the McRorie Community Garden
Plants are blooming, bees are buzzing, and all's well at the garden. We made a delicious dinner last night using the florets from our prolific broccoli. This was an easy meal: we sauteed the broccoli florets in a little olive oil, added some garlic and salt and then poured in a little tomato sauce and pre…

I ran across a patchouli plant at a local, independently owned grocer I love to shop. I'd never seen one before. So, I rubbed a leaf and smelled it. It smelled woody and exactly like the oil so many people wear as perfume. So, I did a little web search and…

I've been out of town a long weekend with my sprouts safely watered and growing in my kitchen. I'll be back later today, hopefully to a five day growth of tomato and basil sprouts. Anticipation!
Keep your eyes peeled for some new content in the Coffee Zoo, too...
The garden patch is cleared of those pesky weeds for the…

Can you see it? There's a tiny sprout in the upper right corner. Tiny, tiny, but it's coming up.
These sprouts started out in the grocery store and then germinated about 4 days in my kitchen. …

Yes, it's that time of year in this brilliant place, Florida. You know what I mean. If you live anywhere that has citrus, you are fully aware of this phenomenon. It's called Spring.
I can remember excitedly telling people that March is the best month to visit Florida. People in California, for example. Funny. People in Chile. Even more…

There's an eye catcher on Elephant Journal entitled "Why I Don't Eat Organic". The answer, of course, is because it's so expensive. The recent freeze has thrown tomato prices skyward.…

I'm headed up to the garden today. Lots of weeds to pull. I've been away for a while and nature's taken its course.
The Urban Farmer suggests these plants for October:…
