  1. #KitchenGarden #Harvest is coming in.

    We've got green beans coming out our ears! (This blanched batch is ready to be frozen)

    Anyone have any good #GreenBean recipes?

  2. The 11 year old found a #startrek phaser pistol when he was harvesting the #marketmore #cucumbers

    He then proceeded to shoot us all with it ... "pew pew pew"

  3. Has anyone tried starting "Good King Henry" (Blitum bonus-henricus) from seed with success?

    I got some seeds and put them in a pot weeks ago without anything sprouting.

    Any tips I'm missing?

  4. Plants are weird.

    The butternut pumpkin seeds I planted in individual pots, in speciallised seed starting mix, and placed in the perfect position for optimal light and warmth, and watered (but not overwateted) diligently to ensure the absolute best opportunity for them to germinate: Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero germination.

    The extra butternut pumpkin seeds that I had, that I figured I'd just experiment with, and unceremoniously chucked in shallow dry dirt-holes along the weed-filled fenceline of our garden, and then just left to their own devices: Fucking up on time and thriving.

    Like, what the heck? I dunno why we bother with all this seedling molly-coddling sometimes, when those little buggers are just gonna do what they do without our input anyway.

  5. The Greek oregano I started from seed last year is flourishing (so proud!), and about to start flowering. So this is the moment: freeze or dry to preserve it for winter?

  6. Fully committed to the handmade windowsill life at this point. 🌿✏️

    Made little chalkboard herb signs to go with the painted pots all labeled and thriving in the kitchen window.

    There's something really lovely about a space where everything in it was made or grown by hand. Highly recommend the vibe.

    Anyone else deep in their indoor garden era? 💙

    Event Details

    "Calling all seed harvesters and kitchen gardeners! Join us at the #RivertonBranch for our first annual Kitchen Garden Seed Swap. Arrive with any labeled* seeds you'd like to share with your fellow gardeners and leave with what others bring to share. Come for the seeds, stay for the conversation (which we hope will be full of neighbor-to-neighbor tips for beginners and advanced gardeners and seed harvesters alike)!

    *Please feel free to drop by the Riverton Branch any time we're open to pick up empty seed packets to fill with your own seeds before bringing them to the swap. If you use your own packets, please make sure to include the following information:

    - Seed Type
    - Date Collected
    - Growing Notes (optional)
    - Your name or initials (optional)

    Also welcome at the swap are any seed-starting or gardening supplies in good condition that you would like to re-home. Any items left over at the end of the swap will be considered for our #LibraryOfThings or donated.

    Leftover seeds will be used to seed our new Riverton Branch Seed Library."
