Spring Polenta with Radishes and Garlic Scapes

Recipe: Spring Polenta with Radishes and Garlic Scapes

Spring is for cooking fresh from the garden. How delightful it is to run across a recipe, and to happen to have all the ingredients on hand, either in the fridge or in the garden. For those harvesting winter- or early spring-grown radishes right now, this recipe is for you. The recipe uses fresh radishes, chickpeas, and broccolini for a delicious rustic Italian meal. We made a few substitutes to demonstrate how flexible this recipe is. Okay, so we don't…

Wordless Wednesday: April

We know half the country is still blanketed with snow, but April is off the chain in southern gardens. It's going gangbusters here, folks. Come August/September our garden will look like death warmed over (scorched, in fact) so this is our time to enjoy the benefits of rain and cooler temperatures. What's growin' on in your garden or greenhouse? Starting seeds under grow lights? Sprouting cucumbers in the garden? Transplanting tomatoes into pots? Post a picture to Instagram and tag…

The warm glow of beeswax is comforting and beautiful.

Candles from Bees

I usually leave crafting to Martha Stewart, but this project has been four years in the making and I'm chuffed about it. Four years ago we began harvesting honey from our backyard bee hive. Four years ago we started saving the wax in order to make five new pillar candles for a swanky candelabra in the dining room. Last week, the dream came true.

Tree kale, a perennial vegetable with deep roots.

YouTube: Propagating Tree Kale

This one is for you kale lovers and permaculturists out there: perennial tree kale. Yes, it's true. Imagine a year-round supply of kale that doesn't fall prey to aphids in hot weather. Perennial vegetables form deeper root systems and require less water and care than annual varieties. When annuals bite the dust, perennial tree kale keeps going. The caveat? It lives for 3-4 years, then must be propagated from cuttings. You can do this, and Gardenerd is here to show…
