Peas and Petals: August 2010
http://peasandpetals.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Wow, no way has it been a month already since I posted! Time flies, especially when you're busy. Farm work is definitely an all-day affair. Since Myrtle Glen is a homestead, rather than a production-based operation, there's a lot of other responsibilities that come along with living here: cooking, cleaning, timing the use of the solar and cob ovens just right during the day, taking care of the animals, and of course, putting food up! I canned my first pickles last night! Of cour...

Peas and Petals: November 2010
http://peasandpetals.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. I know it's been a while. My access to the internet (and to upload things) was pretty limited at Myrtle Glen Farm, which is a shame, since I was having such an interesting and busy time there! My stay there came to an end a few weeks ago, and since then I have been chilling in Portland with my friend Galen. I thought I would share a particularly tasty salad I made today. Sweet Fall Salad (all from oregon! Spinach (from Myrtle Glen). Fennel Stalk and Greens. About the Farm Girls!

http://peasandpetals.blogspot.com/2010/09/eat.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. FIRST of all, hi. I haven't forgotten about Peas and Petals, this summer has just been absolutely insane. I have been working for Transportation Alternatives. And I am eating every day up in this lovely city by just being out, about, with friends, involved. Including this weekend, which was awesome. And then, today as a close friend and I decided to get brunch on our slow-moving Sunday morning, I realized upon my first bite of my dish that I have officially. Yes, the entire.

Remember how I mentioned that rooftop farm that my roommate had mentioned to me up in Greenpoint (the neighborhood north of Williamsburg - my neighborhood - in Brooklyn)? WellI found their website, emailed them, and found out that they have volunteer/community days on Sunday mornings! Picked and sorted flowers/herbs for sale (me sorting some flowers). Re-staked tomatoes (yep, that's the Manhattan skyline.). Rooftop Farms ...
