Crop Update

We had a bumper crop of taters this year.  From three plants that started out robust, but then fell to the scorching heat, we got nearly three dozen spuds!

Food- Related Activity at the Urban Grange Hall this Weekend

Here is a mega tomato we grew from B. Potter's plants acquired in the Community School's organic sale earlier this summer.  They are heirloom so they look a little rough, but we are roasting them to freeze to add to sauce and stews this winter.

Roasting tomatoes at low temp. with olive oil and salt.

We are consistently getting three eggs a day from our four hens. Notice the egg on the left-it is standing on end. Tricky!

Some Random Thoughts

1. It is not original to yell "Fore" or lay on your car horn when driving by a golf course.  Trust me on this as I am a home owner living across the street from a municipal course and am almost directly across from the 9th hole.

2. I wonder how much money would be saved if all the treadmills, rowing machines and bikes in a gym where rigged to produce electricity?  Could it power the facility?
