Top 10 Legal Ways to Experience the Magic of Mushrooms :...

Rated Oct 11 • 1 review • cooking, environment, gardening, mushrooms, fungi • discovery.com

From the page: "Mushrooms are delicious, loaded with nutrients, and serve as a low footprint meat substitute. But to cover all the bases about mushrooms would require a book, not a post. There are an estimated 14,000 types of mushrooms. Roughly 3,000 are edible and 700 have known medicinal properties. Also, fewer than one percent are recognized as poisonous (more about that soon).

For our purposes, we're obviously gonna avoid the poison and simply focus on the 10 types of mushrooms (organic, of course) you're most likely to encounter at your local health food store, market, or other source. But first, a little mushroom monologue: "

Truck Farm Still Growing - Gothamist

Rated Oct 07 • 1 review • agriculture, gardening, nyc • gothamist.com

From the page: "The Truck Farm got some stready press during the summer months, and the Bed-Stuy blog just spotted it, still spurting out produce even though the days are getting shorter, darker and colder. They report back: "Looks like they had a hearty crop of tomatoes and peppers, along with a couple of other veg I could not immediately identify. I was tempted to pick, but I didn�t!" If one did want to pick at it, however, the Truck Farm is also a CSA of sorts�"for just 20 bucks you can get your own little piece of the patch in the Dodge Ram. There's a video intro to the project after the jump, and more info at Wicked Delicate, who created the movable farm."

7 Things You Didnt Know About Organic Agriculture :...

Rated Sep 11 • 1 review • cooking, gardening, organic food, organic • treehugger.com

Even a casual TreeHugger knows that organic food is a greener option for the planet, but there's a lot more to growing it than just planting seeds in the sun, watering the sprouts (and skipping the pesticides) and talking to the plants as they grow; organic agriculture is a complicated, interesting, constantly changing process. Here are seven things you may not have realized about organic agriculture.

Evil Lurks in the Garden Allotments : TreeHugger

Rated Sep 04 • 1 review • uk, gardening, allotment, cooking • treehugger.com

From the page: "Time to call in Sherlock Holmes. Police in Torquay, U.K. are on the hunt for a serial plant attacker. In the run-up to the Torquay Allotments Association annual show an award winning pumpkin was gouged using a pair of secateurs (a gardener's prized weapon). A few weeks earlier some one had sprayed weedkiller on 100 prized dahlias. A bunch of carrots were stolen and others had holes stabbed through their hearts.

Where to start to solve the crime? There are many possible suspects: more than 80 people have allotments there. As one of the victims said: ""Everyone looks at everyone else with suspicion now. I just don't know who could have done it, but I am sure it was an inside job.""

8-Gorgeous-Community-Gardens-Across-the-Country -...

Rated Aug 21 • 2 reviews • gardening, community gardens, urban, new york city, vegetables • greenopia.com

From the page: "When you live in the city, access to a plot of land where you can grow your own fresh, organic produce is not a given. But urban residents have brought some colorful farm charm into their lives and beautified their neighborhoods in the process by transforming disused public spaces into community gardens, where anyone can lease a space to connect with nature and develop a green thumb.

From a vast green space blooming with flowers in the middle of New York City to a former gravel parking lot in Seattle, these 8 community gardens bring urbanites together to get in touch with the source of their food and forge deeper connections with each other."
