Comment on Eat Your Whites: Cauliflower and a recipe for Aloo Gobi by Joanne Aarons

I wondered if the “whites” had any health benefits. Usually I opt for broccoli instead of cauliflower because of my lack of nutritional knowledge. Always thinking “green” trumps “white”. Now I know I can select cauliflower more often! Thank you!

Thank you for this! I love to prepare soups, especially at this time of year. This sounds so interesting, plus, it gives me a reason to use a root veggie; I haven’t used previously. I think my mother put some in chicken soup decades ago, but I have never used it. I will use it now.

Happy Holiday season to you, sincerely,
Linda J

Look absolutely delicious Rae! Nice to know what sort of pumpkin to use and that it was easy to peel.

Comment on Our Big Rocky Project by Mij Convefy

Re: Rock bed enclosures – I have one raised bed of broken concrete topped w/ 8″ x 16″ pavers. This gives me a seat/kneeling surface your beds don’t have & you may someday want. Not easy to add to yours, but possible w/ mortar & some bracing behind & leveling w/ smaller rocks. More problematic is the fabulous home you’ve created for slugs & snails in the crevices. I solved that problem w/ copper mesh from Lee Valley by cutting squares of it, crumbling it & stuffing it into the crevices. Now, there’s a winter project! The patio is very nicely done. What will you use on the radiating paths? I envy the sun exposure you must have!

Comment on The Chicken Co-op by Star Light

This is a great story . We had a very similar experience putting ducks in the front yard. The ducks were great, but the best attention was from a backyard chicken who would take daily walks around to the front of the front yard and talk to the neighbors.

Great story! I have ring necked doves in my front yard which draw kids from all around, often with parents and grandparents in tow. I enjoy the happy visits. When I was up in my plum tree pruning last week, I could her one 7-yr-old girl telling the other 5 girls in the pack that these are Coo and Poo, becuase that’s what they do. The boy is Poo and the girl is Cooooo-oo. I couldn’t be happier with my “trainer chickens” and I hope to have real ones one day. They will defintely go in the front yard. Where can I find your chicken palace? I want to see it! You can email me from teh Urban Sparks website.
Thanks and good for you bringing joy to the community.
