If you have outdoor pets, horses or livestock,  you know that these animals need to be wormed on occasion. Well City Chickers, your back yard flock is no different.  In fact urban coops could have a higher incidence of internal parasites due to space constraints.  Good sanitation practices go a long way in keeping your flock healthy, but you can’t always guard against the…

Mama Mia, we have tomatoes! Somehow in spite of our disastrous attempt at starting tomato plants from seeds and the less than favorable weather conditions of the 2010 garden season, we managed to have success with our tomatoes this year. The initial ripening was a good two weeks later than last year and we still have a large number of greenies on the vine, but we have been enjoying mouth watering…

Gooseneck Loosestrife Last summer while visiting friends in Portland I was introduced to “lysimachia clethroides,” better know as Gooseneck Loosestrife.  The introduction came via a huge bucketful of white flowers that truly resembled a gaggle of geese.  I was smitten.  Who wouldn’t want to see this dazzling display swaying in the summer breeze in their backyard?  Luckily my friend had a few plants…

Garlic Scapes! This is just the beginning of my sc Garlic Scapes! This is just the beginning of my scape harvest. If you are growing hard neck garlic, it's time to remove that curly-cue flower stalk. By cutting it off, it diverts the plant's energy into fattening bulb. But don't compost those scapes!!
