We have been calling around to different tree services asking if they are interested in dumping off wood chips at our house for the Great Sheet Mulching 2007. Someone finally panned out! I came home last night to a big, beautiful pile of fresh wood chips. It’s steaming away outside our front door and I have to contain my excitement, else I would be outside
Overheard
I should be working and not blogging… but I just found my new favorite website: Overheard in PDX I love living in Portland.
Back on the Bike
After completing my recent travels, my body decided to round everything out with a nice head cold today. I guess that is my body telling me to slow down a little. Ugh, I hate being sick – I get so bored at home when I can’t allow myself to do anything productive. Hopefully I’ll kick the cold quickly. Jay and I took advantage of the
Market Day
After an intense four days in NYC, followed by another 4 in LA, the farmer’s market was the perfect detox. Nothing like fresh air, fall leaves, strong coffee, and baskets of produce to welcome me back home. The Lent’s International Farmer’s Market near my house has shut down for the season, but the Saturday Farmer’s Market at PSU is still going strong. I arrived early
Take Me Home
It’s been fun the last week traveling around for work. I spent four intense days in New York City. I love that town, but I felt like I needed a week to recover from my trip. The energy is so high, people actually dress up, the food is fantastic… It reminds me of my bohemian days in Barcelona. The main difference being that I am
Signs of Life
As the chiller nights set in and the rains begin falling, I start getting this yearning to make big pots of soup, drink some strong dark beers, and hole up inside our little house. It’s been looking like my garden feels the same way in general. I never even bothered picking the corn since it got such a late start, but I noticed the chickens
Harvest Festival & Orchard Tour
One Green World is a fabulous nursery located in Molalla, Oregon, which is a rural area about a 30-45 minute drive from our house here in Portland. They specialize in unique fruiting (for the most part) trees and shrubs that they have gathered from around the world. They carry the usual suspects, like apple, Asian and European pears, cherries, peaches, etc. But they have several
Fall Clean Up
It has been a brisk, fairly dry weekend in Portland – the kind of autumn days when it’s quite pleasant to be outside bundled up. I took advantage of the fine weather by preparing the garden for winter. I pulled up the zucchini and broccoli plants, turning them over on the soil so they can decompose in place. The chicken coop has been cleaned out
Into the Wild
Not gardening related. But what do you expect? It’s raining and cold and I have no gardening news! I swear I will get back to gardening stuff soon, but I figure it’s my blog so I’ll write about random stuff too. I had the opportunity recently to see an advanced showing of this movie coming out called “Into the Wild“, which is based on the
