Blog: Morgan Botanicals   -   Monday June 22, 2009   -   By Jessica

Marrubrium vulgaris is one of the first non-native herbs I learned when I was working as field biologist for Cal State Stanislas to protect native species. I knew the plant as a cough remedy and a candy, but didn't have much experience recognizing the plant...

Weathering the cold

Blog: ASIF Gardens   -   Friday January 30, 2009   -   By Kate

It isn't easy to weather freezing temperatures. In other climes, gardners build greenhouses and plant in containers to move into greenhouses. With school hours we just haven't done that. Instead, the nights that dip below freezing, Gus, Andy and I cover with a...

Out in the Cold and Loving It

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Wednesday January 14, 2009   -   By Chris

Here is one of our hogs.  She is especially fond of dumping over her freshly poured water.  It's a game with her, I suspect.  I don't like playing THAT game, so I gave her and her sisters a couple of soccer balls to toss around. ...
