http://zone10gardener.blogspot.com/2010/02/avoiding-monsanto-seed-worthy-challenge.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. Avoiding Monsanto Seed: A Worthy Challenge. I came across this list of companies who use Monsanto seed on. I thought now would be a good time to share as I have been going through my own seed catalogs and planning my garden. Please feel free to make additions and or corrections. Avoid these seed companies:. E and R Seed Co. Flower of the Month Club. McClure and Zimmerman Quality Bulb Brokers. Park’s Countryside Garden. Rocky Mountain Seed Co. Seeds for the World.

Mao Mao Kitty: When to Plant the Garden? Now!
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015/05/when-to-pant-garden-now.html
Thursday, May 7, 2015. When to Plant the Garden? In our neighborhood, the daffodils are done, the cherries have leafed out, but the late tulips are still going strong. Last year's kale is happier than ever and that means Mao Mao's getting lots of little kale nibbles before dinner. Yes, our cat is a big fan of greens. I am too, so our human salads are getting a big supplement from the garden lately. What else is growing? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Mao Mao Kitty by Email. A Way to Garden.

Mao Mao Kitty: Garden Update
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015/07/garden-update.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. I was able to harvest 2 radicchio heads and we ate them sautéed over pasta with some sautéed onions and goat cheese - one of our go to easy dinners. Now all the radicchio has bolted and some is even flowering. Who knew they had such pretty blue flowers? The entire community garden is in full flower these days and every time I'm in there I snap some photos of the blooms. I'm really into the bold colors - colors that you just can't believe Mother Nature has on her palette.

Mao Mao Kitty: Salad Season
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015/06/salad-season.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2015. Our long and lovely spring has given us ideal conditions for growing salad greens. and strawberries! This is the first year that I've had bountiful yields of both. I haven't bought salad greens in over a month and I've had greens to share too. The garden is now off and running after a late start. Here's what it's looked like over the past month:. At the start of May, the lettuce in the foreground was just beginning, the strawberries in the top right were covered in white blooms, an...

Mao Mao Kitty: June 2014
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. How My Garden Grew in June. Last week in the plot, getting bushy. At the beginning of June, the sunflowers were only hinting at the obstacles they would soon become. At this point I moved a few to the common beds and left the rest, hoping a few would be the offspring of the unusual red/brown variety I planted last year. This was the situation last week in the garden. I added some stakes in the rear of the plot for the Chinese yard long beans to climb and trained the rest to the...

Mao Mao Kitty: February 2015
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Starting Leek Seeds Indoors. I planted leek seeds about a week ago in a recycled plastic food container, using a peat medium. They sprouted a few days ago and are doing well. The seed trays are right in front of a south-facing window, where they get lots of light all day. After dark, I put a light over the trays to extend the "day", in an attempt to prevent leggy growth. So far, everything looks good and we're looking forward to big, fat leeks this summer! The purple sprouting...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. This will be the last in the series of Presby Memorial Iris Garden photos. Enjoy the beauty, color, and variety! Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Presby Memorial Iris Garden in Bloom. Peak bloom at Presby Memorial Iris Garden in Upper Montclair NJ was this past weekend. If you didn't get there, I'm sure the 100,000 plus blooms will still be going strong this whole week. Go visit! It's beautiful. Iris come in a rainbow of colors, some have spots or stripes, and some are extra frilly. Last year...

Mao Mao Kitty: April 2015
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. When to Sow Lettuce Seeds. When should I sow lettuce and carrot seeds? I did three rows of lettuce and two rows of carrots yesterday in 40• temps because I knew it was going to be rainy today and 60• and sunny all weekend. It's not very springlike in the garden just yet, but after this weekend I expect a lot of blooming daffodils and some very happy over wintered kale. Yes, my Ragged Jack kale survived our very cold winter and is sprouting again. Labels: Garden seeds lettuce carrot.

Mao Mao Kitty: August 2014
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2014. NJ State Fair Cuteness Recap. At the beginning of August, we visited the old Sussex County Farm and Horse Show and of course I had to document the cuteness going on in the animal tents. I guess bunnies like pinecones! This stack of bunnies were all set for judging. We saw some getting examined and scored by 4H officials. I'm guessing there's more to it than just being adorable, because competition was tight in that regard! They even look good when they grow up! Ladies and Gents, ...

Mao Mao Kitty: What's Growing?
http://maomaokitty.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-growing.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. If he does, I just might get to eat this butternut. Otherwise, I'll just have to be content with lots of yellow pear tomatoes- I've got three volunteer plants from last year. This was the final lettuce harvest. I pulled the plants and put in more seeds in their place. I'm trying for a fall crop. Carrots, the kale that won't quit, and my first muncher cucumber made a delicious chopped salad. Lettuce? Just waiting for the tomatoes and more cucumbers to come now. A Way to Garden.
