Well, I suppose there are plenty of excuses I could find for not having been a more consistent blogger. As this is the height of the planting season, it HAS been busy both in my own garden and at the Veggielution Emma Prusch farm. Veggielution has been expanding its growing capabilities and with the addition of a new 1/4 acre plot and a whole additional acre (yay!!) it looks like the months ahead will be pretty intense. I’ve also been working finalizing the PorchSide Ecology business plan. So…I have definitely been busy, however it has always been my intention to write more consistently. One thing specifically that I wanted to be doing was a continuation of my Plant Profiles content. My intent from the start was to showcase the aesthetic qualities of common herbs and annual vegetables in the garden, and to introduce more rare perennial vegetables and native food crops of California. I fully intend to pick up on the Plant Profiles posts, my next one (coming soon) will be on radishes. I have also been doing some excellent reading on perennial vegetables and food forests, both works giving me some great ideas and a lot to think about. And both, by the way, I highly recommend. “Perennial Vegetables” and “Edible Forest Gardens Vol I and II” are both authored by Eric Toensmeier (Edible Forest Gardens was co-authored with Dave Jacke).
With that, I will get back to work and I promise to return with more content very soon!
