May Sowings

 A.B. Community Garden

 Backyard Favas

 Elephant Garlic


 Arugula, a tenacious and drought resistant leafy green, is being planted in enough rows to allow for the development of a diverse genetic base for seed collection and storage.

 These American Giant Sunflowers, grown last year, are still as sturdy as any bamboo you'd find at Hirons. We are planning on cultivating some again this year for a bean trellis next year...  which I guess qualifies them as a biennial crop, of sorts. All-in-all, the project will represent a small model of a more "permanent agricultural" system.




The "Sky City" is to be featured in the 2nd Annual Tour de Coop of Eugene.


It pays to be alert in our backyard, especially with an insatiable appetite like these soon-to-be hens.
