Good Cheer PixieThere's no stopping them. I gave my daughter a full punnet yesterday, yet here I am again with more than I can eat. #GrowYourOwnFood #Strawberries
Loop FarmerMy wife made some pickled vegetables from my harvest yesterday.
LJThis may be the best weather week we'll have this summer. Mid 70's, low humidity, clear blue skies. I weeded & hilled our potatoes. Found some 'volunteer' New Zealand "Spinach" (it's actually related to marigolds!) that must have self-seeded from last year! Transplanted it into a free bale & will hope for the best.
It is a heat tolerant veggie & tastes/cooks like spinach. It also freezes quite well.

Excerpt: "A Brief History of #UrbanAgriculture
Growing food in cities isn’t entirely new! History shows humans have long found ways to cultivate sustenance within urban boundaries:
- Circa 3500 BC, #Mesopotamia: Archaeological evidence suggests early forms of #gardening occurred within city walls for food and medicinal purposes.
- Circa 2000 BC, Ancient #Persia: Development of sophisticated #qanat systems (underground #aqueducts) supported #UrbanGardens even in arid climates.
- #AncientEgypt: Records depict fruit trees and vines grown within temple complexes and affluent homes in cities like Thebes.
- Circa 1100 AD, #Aztec Civilization: The ingenious ‘#chinampas’ – artificial islands built in shallow lake beds around #Tenochtitlan – were highly productive agricultural plots effectively integrated with the urban center.
- Circa 1400s AD, #MachuPicchu: This #Inca citadel showcases remarkable terraced agriculture, adapting steep slopes for crop production within a high-altitude urban environment.
- More Recently: #VictoryGardens during World Wars I and II were widespread examples of urban food production driven by necessity."
