Herbs to plant = Herbie heaven!
There is something so gratifying about setting plants in fertile soil. They just look healthy and green in the contrast to the rich black to red soil that they sit in. Yes, red clay is a way of life in Georgia. As long as it has a balance of other nutrients, it’s becomes a necessary if not welcomed component of good garden soil. This week, it is herb planting time at Rock Star Farms. The farm has grown by leaps and bounds over this past year. Last year, the medicine wheel was sporting many vegetables along side herbs. This year, vegetable garden beds surround the medicine wheel. The wheel can…

Healing Weed Food – Vernal Equinox
This past weekend was a scheduled girls event at Rock Star Farms for a bunch of ladies to get together and work on the garden that is meant for herbs. It’s been amazing seeing the changes transform at this farm! Last year, this circle was the only section planted. This year, most of the heavy food planting is done in beds around this circle that is destined to be a medicine wheel. Our objective was to weed and get all those volunteer plants up and out! Another neat transformation that occurred during this process was a shift in how this group saw weeds. There were two kinds in particular that…

Greens for the "green" month
I have all these greens this month that I’ve been getting from Rock Star Farms CSA. What do I do with them all? Discussions are beginning to take shape among the CSA members. Here are a few things that I do with them. I’m considering making this dish tonight with my Collards from Rock Star Farms Winter CSA: Collards and Potatoes . We’ll see if Canada is as good at Collards as they are hockey! :-O Save your own environment by not cooking your collards till they are beyond mush! This tidbit of advice goes for any green veggie you get your hands on. All those wonderful vitamins are long gone…

The collards, kale and hearty greens went straight in this kitchen friend–> along with roast, onions, carrots and potatoes. It made a YUMMY dinner! The lettuces we’ll enjoy for Valentine’s Day.

There is no “stoopid” tape all around it saying it’s organic nor a sticker with barcode. No Packaging saying its organic to toss in the landfill, just good…

What to do with Cucumbers from Rock Star Farms…
Hey there! While I’ve been active on twitter, it’s been a while since I’ve sat down for a blog post. If you are interested in what’s been going on, take a gander at the Dr. Flower twitter stream here or if you are a visual person, twitpic and Flickr work pretty well too! We spent July 4th up at Rock Star Farms this year. It was their 1st Annual July 4th Celebration. Rock Star Farms is a relatively new farm promoting organic gardening, homegrown organic food, biodynamic planting, compost, green water, water conservation, and green solar energy. It’s a Dr. Flower kind of farm! I’m sure the write ups on this special farm will be many…
