csa 1!

couldnt wait any longer. too excited. barb and i are making nettle pesto for you all tomorrow. we had it over some noodles for dinner. parmesan cheese maybe not necessary. its tasty.  eat it on crackers even.  nettles have just been added to the superfood list. has been dubbed "the new kale". article on nettles to the right. also some ideas on eating wild mustard greens also coming tomorrow. gardening strategy for 2013 is to beat the bug cycles in the spring. therefore im not planting any brassicas - cabbage or broccoli until july 4. so those will be coming in the fall. we'll be good on kale -  i planted the front yard here in kale. we are going to foil the cabbage looper. same with squash and melons and cukes (the cucurbit family) planting them july 4. last year all the spring squash yielded around ten zucchinis. gardens are looking much better with warmer nights and some sunshine. its the year of the potato again. and sweet potato. in must see videos to the right is this great ten minute speech by this guy from south los angeles. one cool customer. the other is the trailer for the film i was in in africa two summers ago. it just premiered at the hot docs festival in toronto. i play a drug addict/ conspiracy theorist.  (punchline here)
