Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:23:00 -0700 Yard Sale Spoils http://mandle.posterous.com/yard-sale-spoils http://mandle.posterous.com/yard-sale-spoils

Scored big time with the 2 x red cedar chests.

  • The simpler of the two is a circa 1935 Jacob Bloom Cedar Hope Chest made in Philadelphia. 
  • The rounded top one is a Lane Red Cedar Hope Chest (hopefully one of the Art Deco models). 
I'll need to do quite a bit of paint stripping and refinishing on both of these. Amelia helped me start taking apart the Bloom. She was responsible for writing a letter on each piece.

The tiller is perfectly sized to handle our 12' x 12' garden.

Img_0015

The biggest & the last carrots if the season. 5 pepper plants are still producing amazingly sweet Bells, and a brutally spicy Spanish Pepper hybrid!

Img_0017

Our 1st melon was harvested too early, we still ate it of course. 6 more have taken it's place. Like the song says... we'll be sure these rattle before lug them.
 
"Hey... Watermelon Man.
Bring me one that rattles when ya lug it One that's red & juicy when ya plug it Do you understand?
Watermelon Man."

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:37:00 -0700 The Garden: Late Summer Thinning, Insights, Mission http://mandle.posterous.com/the-garden-late-summer-thinning-insights-miss http://mandle.posterous.com/the-garden-late-summer-thinning-insights-miss
[UPDATE]
We've thinned out most of the summer crops to start preparing for Fall planting. The bunnies are all grown up and have left the carrot patch. I spied one of them wearing a little blue jacket and a sack of wee carrots sprinting across the yard yesterday. Onions, Scallions, Asparagus, Cabbage, Romaine... and more are on the planting list! We have 2 watermelons developing nicely and will serve as great refreshments next weekend.

[INSIGHTS]
Last night my good friend Scott Kinnebrew http://truthandsalvageco.blogspot.com/ referred to our garden as a "Victory Garden". At first I didn't know what he meant, but a quick explanation by him helped me realize that the "Victory Garden" as a response to food shortages during WWII is the style garden we've established. Let's revive the "Victory Garden"!
http://www.revivevictorygarden.org/

[MISSION]
Our reasons for building and tending this garden are both financial and lifestyle in nature. Working our little garden as a family has been a tremendous morale booster! Rooted in the desire to reconnect with our origins and as tenants, not lords over the earth we have created a space for our family to use the land in a respectfully productive manner. 

[THE FUTURE]
I hope that our daughter's memories of working in this garden grow to become some of her fondest and most lasting. They will stay with Mary & I forever.

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:58:00 -0700 The finest thing growing in our garden... is us. http://mandle.posterous.com/the-finest-thing-growing-in-our-garden-is-us http://mandle.posterous.com/the-finest-thing-growing-in-our-garden-is-us The time we spend as a family in our garden will be some of the best of our lives. A garden holds that power and every moment spent in it nurtures the soul.

Yes. We're using a pair of Dora the Explorer gardening gloves as tiny scarecrows. Shhh.

Img_4032

This sugar snap plant is so gorgeous I'd almost prefer it never produce a single bean.

Img_4028

The sweetest item in our our garden :)

Img_4033

Awesome cucumber vine.

Tomato

Reply to this email with any suggestions on organic gardening. Of course, if you delivered them in person that'd be even better.
 
Hope this finds you well :)
 
Love,
 
Jeremy, Mary, & Amelia

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:12:08 -0700 The Garden: Sampling the fruits of our labor & some new arrivals http://mandle.posterous.com/the-garden-sampling-the-fruits-of-our-labor-a http://mandle.posterous.com/the-garden-sampling-the-fruits-of-our-labor-a Not anywhere near ready for harvesting but I couldn't help myself.
The baby carrot was a wee bit bitter, but so yum.
The onion was amazing. Sweet with a very strong finish. We're planting tons of these onions next season.
Our supply of lettuce seems unending. Hell yea for not having to purchase it at the store!
We're seeing our first tomatos & cukes too. Bye!
