Got onions?
Bad news - We just ran out of the Patterson onions we grew last year. They stored fine in our unheated detached garage. On a couple of the nights with temps in the mid to low 20s I moved them to an unheated room in the house.
Good news - I just harvested the first Walla Walla that we grew from seeds I planted in our mini greenhouse last fall. This onion is only medium size. The other onions in that batch will get considerably bigger.
Tonight’s menu - Walla Walla onion burgers.
About to plant a few more #HopiBlueCorn plants in my gated home garden. I have four that are doing very well in the garden, but a couple have been struggling. I also have mini-cucumbers and summer squash and a couple more #CaveBean plants that are ready to go into the garden as well! And thanks to last night's #rainstorm, the #rainbarrels are full again.

Went over to the #CommunityGarden today (planting more sunflowers, beans, squash and onions), and was delighted to see that the #PlantSwap has started! I picked up a couple of #Blueberry plants and will be leaving some #SunGoldTomato plants for others!

@RiaResists And yes, the gardens (both my home one and the #CommunityGarden) are a form of resistance!

Las gallinas pueden liarla parda en la huerta, de hecho hoy una pimentera bastante grande ya la habían dejado medio tumbada con sus patadones. Poco tiempo, mientras hay humanos y después un leve chequeo. Tb mueven los tubos de riego así que hay q sujetarlos, con restos de poda os hacéis estos no compréis plásticos que encima duran poco. Y por último decir que sí que la pueden liar pero que tb dos calabacines tenían un problema de hormiguero subiéndose encima de ellos y les hacen una limpia que flipas, las hormigas supongo que dudarán si es buen sitio cuando por la mañana vienen esos pájaros enormes y hacen un godzila.
Doing it again! This Friday, 4-6 pm pickup at Urban Farm Oasis in Berkeley.
Order on our site and pick up and pay on Friday.
We've got tons of great plants, comparable to the ones in the background image here (though no Velvet Lushers this year). If there's something on our main list, but not on our "available for delivery" list, it's probably because it's still too small or maybe all of those are getting past their prime. We're okay selling either in person, but only like to deliver plants in their prime, since it's sight-unseen. If there's a variety you want, you can put it in the order and we can contact you about its status.
Support Urban Farm Oasis while you're here. They're a sweet local business.
