    Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

    " 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

    "In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

    "While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

  15. We ended up with an extra grape vine. One that we thought died came out of dormancy way late and now I need somewhere to put the other. Melissa and I can't agree on where to put it. We rarely disagree on much but this is proving to be a tougher decision between us. Our city lot is jam packed already. Silly as it sounds, this bonus grape vine is causing unnecessary friction.

    Hopefully we agree on something soon or I'm giving it away.

  17. Harvested our Cabernet Sauvignon early this morning to make wine. We are still at over 100 F at 7 pm. The rain promised for days did not materialize.

    The native wine grapes should be ripe in a week or so.

    The chickens have already picked the lower two feet, :-).

  21. CW: Food prep from garden

    One of the zinfandels was ready to harvest because of the extreme weather shift. Sample here of how the morning has gone. Vines are head trained, dry farmed, urban grown zone 10b.

    1 plant
    6 clusters weighing in at 2.2 kg

    Washed, seeds removed, gentle 10 minute boil, juice separated for drinking now, pulp with some sugar will be frozen for tarts.

  25. It looks like giving the blue jays peanuts is getting us, drum roll, more peanuts. Peanut plants have popped up across the yard in the last weeks.

    And we are having the first ripe grapes, hands down the earliest variety I have ever seen. This is a seedless red the nursery called Baba. It's sweet but balanced, very dark blue skin, very round - a perfect shape only matched by ball bearings, 😃.
