And make our own edible version of Judy Chicago's Dinner Party!

I don't Hibiscus Drink
The rooftop garden is finally set up for outdoor living and the heat has suddenly cranked up, which means it's summer drink time. I've taken to making up bright red batches of roselle, aka sorrel (not Spring Ramps
Ramps, aka wild leeks, are a wild North American onion-like plant that pop up in forested areas in early-mid spring. The season for ramps is short, typically no more than a few weeks between April and Give Me Tomatoes

I LOVE tomatoes. If I had to give up growing all other crops and choose just one I would probably choose tomatoes although basil Things I Learned While Camping
Homesteading -- the kind that involved living in tents and no machinery -- was terribly difficult. I'm sure of it. Of course I already knew this, camping merely drove that point home in a new way. Simple tasks Cherry Clafoutis
I have a longer post about my trip to Columbus, Ohio coming up but until then a station break about cherry season. It's on! While I was away Davin went cherry picking just for me, bringing Vegan Almond Strawberry Jellie
I have to admit that I made this dessert BEFORE realizing that it was red and white, the perfect Canada Day summer treat. Americans can add blueberries for July 4. I came up with the idea ages Rhubarb/Apple/Strawberry/Ginger Crisp
Rhubarb has come into season here in the cold north, and while I can't say I'm much of a fan, my spouse is -- I suppose its only fair that he gets to have something he likes Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
The garlic mustard population is really getting out-of-hand at the community garden this year. I've discovered loads of it in unused areas of disturbed, lousy soil and it is expanding rapidly into the edges around plot beds. Making Low-Sugar Pepper Jelly
With both the gardens and the Farmer's Market in abundance these days, it's become canning central around here. I'm on a personal mission to find a use for just about everything. Last weekend was the whole 50 pounds of tomatoes insanity Is There Anything Else?
