Maximillian Smith commented on Demaras Family's blog post Gearing up"Hey guys--I'm excited to read about your growing season again this year, even from my little nook in Bozeman. Here's a gardening resource page we've created for questions such as yours. The most helpful document may be the…"

Hi everyone,So excited, finally time to get our garden growing and this year we have 2 mini-gardeners to get dirty with us. We are still relatively new to gardening and I was hoping we could get a few tips and maybe even a timeline (or a link) as to what we should be doing & when. What kinds of things should we be preparing now? Resources for seeds? How to use the compost we started last year? See More
Demaras Family posted a blog postGarden Teacher
Every time we are outside by the garden my two-year old daughter excitedly looks for "surprise"....ripe and ready grape tomatoes. Then she runs over to the peas and picks through the vines for snow peas to eat right away. This year gardening has provided so much more than a way to relax and food, it has been our teacher. Our garden teaches my daughter about responsibility as she helps to water the plants, about patience as she waits for the little tomatoes to ripen, and even her colors as I…See More

Yay! We are harvesting cucumbers galore. The plants are wild and are producing rapidly. Yum...nothing like fresh cukes with lemon juice & olive oil. Our tomatoes seems to be producing more slowly this year. Hopefully our big green tomatoes get to ripen before the first frost. Can't believe Fall is here.
Demaras Family commented on Demaras Family's blog post Green Caterpillars on my Kale"Thanks so much. Are cabbage moths white? I see many white "butterflies" fluttering about my garden.
I will look for some d. earth asap."
Maximillian Smith commented on Demaras Family's blog post Green Caterpillars on my Kale"They could be the unmetamorphized sons and daughters of the formiddable cabbage moth. I've grown up with these. My dad--knowing my baseball bat fanaticism and my undeveloped love for insects--payed me a 5cents for each moth I chased and…"
Demaras Family posted a blog postGreen Caterpillars on my Kale
We are really loving the harvest of fresh kale, chard, and snow peas that our garden is producing. While picking kale for stir fry (my newest addiction...kale, snow peas, scallions from our garden stir fried in coconut oil- yum) I noticed many of the leaves look like they are being eaten and the undersides of the leaves have many green caterpillars-some small some big. Does anyone know what these are and what I can do to get them off my plants! Help!

Chef Talk
Just as important to the local Agri-Cultural movement is what you do with those homegrown vegetables. This is a place to arrange harvest potlucks, discuss recipes and Panch phoron, etc.

Cooked a delicious Stir Fry tonight for my family with fresh Kale & green onions from our garden. Yum! We just love our garden. Thank you 1K NG! The plants seem to be doing well...looks like we will have tomatoes soon, the cucumber plants are flowering, and our snow pea plants seem to grow overnight.
Demaras Family replied to 1,000 New Gardens's discussion Ask A "Green Thumb""Hello, so we are growing some salad mix and I believe one of the plants is arugula. It has started to flower. Anyone know if we continue to harvest once the plant has flowered? I have also noticed it looks a little different from the arugula I have…"
