Pueblo Seed & Grain Hub (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Food Systems alert: the folks over at Pueblo Seed & Grain Hub, which is part of the greater Pueblo Seed & Food Company, are walking the walk. Tom and Darrin head to a (rainy!) McElmo Canyon to visit Dan Hobbs and talk about this new opportunity for local heritage grains, and the impact that may have for our agricultural, and consumer, communities.
The Wives Show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While Darrin and Tom like to tout about how breathtaking their gardens are - while at the same time being doting husbands - their wives may be saying something different. And perhaps they may be revealing what it's like being married to these two - dirt-stained hands, big heads, and all - on air. Lord help us as Beth and Jenny takeover the airwaves and shovel the real dirt (or manure) on the Garden Guys.
Bears, Deer, and Cyclospora. Seriously. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some updates on our gardens - what's working, what's not, and new (bears) and old (deer) visitors to our spaces. Other topics we cover in a scatter-shot pattern: parasites and bacteria in our food supply, paying homage to the garden guru Eliot Coleman and his new book, and Tom and has adoption of technology in his garden (woohoo, a tiller!). Stay cool folks!
Hot, Dry, and Pig Lettuce. Seriously. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vacations are officially over and the harsh reality that is gardening in southwest Colorado has been in full effect. Blast furnace activated! And if that's not enough, we delve into the world of scientists deciding that they need to put pig protein into lettuce. I mean, why not?
Victory (Gardens) in the School (Gardens)! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy Birthday, America! 250 years old and you don't look a day over 200! We fire up the (veggie-oil-fueled) copter and head over to the SOIL Garden in Durango. We talk about all things gardens, how plants make kids grow (see what I did there?), and why places like SOIL should be in EVERY town and city in this great county we call America.
