Comment on Delicious! Arugula, Texas Ruby Red and Homemade Vinegrette by Anne Woods

Vino Vino does a version of this that includes sliced roasted beets and is amazing and even more seasonal. You can also just make the vinaigrette from just Ruby Red juice and high quality olive oil.

Exciting news!

And would say “yes” to your question since “developing sustainable agriculture” seems the very act of including the citizenry you speak of.

Comment on Seasonal Eating – Central Texas Fall and Winter by Farmer Paige

Farmer Paige — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:01:40 +0000

Hi Katherine,

I’m sorry I just saw this post from you!

My recommendation to start planting seeds right now is to start things that will grow well in the hot hot parts of the summer. These include greens such as Callaloo (vegetable amaranth), Malibar Spinach, and lambs quarters, and fruiting crops such as summer and winter squash, okra, cucumbers and melons.

It’s too late to plant seeds for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, but you could plant transplants of these veggies by purchasing them from a local nursery.

Also, the Travis County Extension Agency has a great online planting calendar. The vegetable recommendations are based heavily on timing for transplants rather than seeds, but you could try some seeds now just to see how it works and get a jump start on Monther Nature.

Best,

On another note, there is a friend of a friend who is buying new fridgerators and taking out all shelving, glass sheets, plastic top shelving…. can you think of some way that you could use these things? Want to come over and see what’s available? Its cheaper for him to buy new fridges and give away parts rather than buy fridges without the insides… longer story! happy saturday! michele
