Indoor Gardening with Kaesha Neil at Tempe Transportation Center
August 4, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8pm
Do you have an intense desire to grow edibles and herbs, however may not have any viable outdoor space in which to do so? Or do you want to grow productive plants that will not survive outside in our climate? Or perhaps start robust seedlings to tra…
I have some questions too. I planted a peach, apricot, apple and 2 cherries. The cherry trees are wilting in the hot days of these last weeks and looking sunburned. I have shaded them but they still wilt. To a lesser extent the apple looks sunburned…
I have only a little experience but would be glad to discuss it. I bought the Sport Oven from http://solarovens.org/. I'd recommend the reflector (higher temps plus extended use) and it comes with a little cookbook. I love cooking stews, casseroles,…
Hi, Judy:
I'd be interested in both tomatoes and blackberries. Have any left? Andrea White. 480-777-8876 awhite@businessbydesign.us.
Wine Making Using Any Fruit - with Lisa Miller at Lady Bug - Environmentally Responsible Pest Control office
March 18, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8pm
Learn how to make wine from the comfort of your own home. It's fun, easy and cheap! Make and bottle your own wine year round using any kind of fruit from your yard (not just grapes). Wine makes a great gift and wine tasting is fun to do with friends…
Make sure you check the labels of anything you buy, whether it's at a store or at the farmers markets.
I bought 'organic' desert raised beef two years ago at the Roadrunner Park farmers market that ended up having MSG in it.
I've been racking my br…
There are grass (range) fed beef people at the farmer's markets (I know they're at the downtown one and the town and country one, I imagine they're at several others as well). I think they specify that they are hormone-free etc as well. Chicken you…
Does anyone have a good source for buying organic meats? I am especially interested in chicken and turkey and occassionally beef.Thanks@
Dianne- thanks for the great information! I am also very much looking forward to visiting Ken's someday and getting some of his compost to start re-mediating my soil. I'd better get to work to prepare!
Well, Terry and I went out to Ken's this morning and enjoyed the trip very much. We walked through the small open air market which is really set up nice and walked the paths through the farm. It is lovely. The best news is the compost is awesome. A…
Some of you may be interested in knowing that Ken donates huge piles of compost to the Rose Garden at Mesa Community Garden beginning in Jan. At least he did last year, and the Rose Society sells huge bags of compost that weigh about 40 lbs. for aro…
Not a problem. Actually I was only speaking for us on the bagged stuff. I hate asking my husband to tote a bunch of 100 pounders that we get at Lowe's and don't want to take a chance on another herniated disc.
You are very welcome in regards to the…
We'll see you there at 11:45 Andrea.
Wow- I looked at your photos- what an amazing transformation! I am just at the beginning of that journey as I just closed on the house at the end of June. Would it be OK if I asked who you had remove the ash trees? I have a large i-don't-know-what-t…
I can sure relate to your current project and hard work. It took us 2 years to clear out all the overgrowth and unwanted plants in our front yard, then weeks of hauling out dirt and mixing in compost before we could start putting my plan to work. I…
Wow look at that...it is supposed to rain! (I hope it actually does!) I am more than comfortable with waiting...Lord knows I have a ton of prep work I should be doing in the yard to get ready for it anyways! My yard is literally under construction-…

I've got some small, black little bugs on my butternut squash. I'm a Phx native and have never seen bugs like these, but I've also never grown the squash before, either. They seem to hide when I reach for a leaf - creepy! What are they and will they…
