“April is the cruelest month” says poet TS Eliot, but thankfully, this doesn’t apply to our garden in sunny Malibu. By the end of this month, I’ll have all the summer crops planted and we’ll be safely above 55 degrees even at night, and probably above 60. I’m adding an inch of compost to every [...]...(

Here in Malibu, summer comes early! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not summer yet… but our night time temperature will stabilize around now to a minimum of 50 degree Fahrenheit, which means the first of the summer seeds are being sown. To celebrate, I sowed a bed of red noodle beans. They’re the bling in [...]...(

Fragrant sweetpea flowers are one of the hallmarks of an English Spring garden, so I’m delighted they’re equally as happy to bloom in Malibu. I planted the little pea seeds around Halloween, and now have been rewarded with pink and blue flowers with a deliciously floral and deeply sweet scent. The tiny white stars are [...]...(

Last night I went to a dinner party with a message: to sit down to a local, organic, vegan meal with a stranger, and leave the table with a full belly and a new friend. The party was organized by Megan Hobza and Charon Nogues at a Los Angeles artist community known simply as HM157. [...]...(

Gentle reader, I’m here to confirm that every garden is a wonderful world of magical fairies, and also… there are monsters. It’s true!

Purveyors of conventional and genetically-modified (GM) crops (and the pesticides and herbicides that accompany them) are finally getting a taste of their own legal medicine. Minnesota’s Star Tribune has reported that the Minnesota Court of Appeals recently ruled that a large organic farm surrounded by chemical-laden conventional farms can se...(

It’s a scary truth that the biggest corporation developing genetically modified food crops share their highest ranking staff with the US Government, and vice versa. This is nothing new, with the roots of genetically modified food reaching back into US politics for over twenty years. This image shows the connections between Monsanto and the US...(

Here in Malibu, December days are sun-kissed, the warmth on our backs encouraging bulbs to be planted and tender greens to be harvested. There’s still time for brassica seeds to be planted in flats inside the cosy potting shed, and so this week is all about Brussels sprouts, cauliflowers, cabbages and kale. Of course, once [...]...(

California orchardists just cannot get a break this year. The long, very cold winter we had was followed by a finicky spring that teased trees into blooming and then spanked them with a hard frost. Some crops were lost altogether; some were delayed. The latter is the persimmon grower’s lot. Set back some two to [...]...(

Pound for pound, pumpkins are perhaps the easiest and most rewarding vegetable to grow… (or is it a fruit?!) And when you grow your own, the heirloom pumpkins now available as seeds are as varied as you could wish for. The only thing that could be tricky is that these vines sprawl, so you need [...]...(

Oluf Johnson’s 1,500-acre farm in Stearns County is an organic island in a sea of chemically treated corn and soybeans. Improperly applied pesticides repeatedly drift over from neighboring farms, often with dire consequences for Johnson. But now, thanks to a new court ruling, he and other farmers can sue to recover their losses. Letting damag...(

I’m currently in New York, a sweltering hot and humid mass of concrete and steel, glass spikes rising from black top to kiss the turquoise sky heavy with cumulus clouds. On streets graced with maples, English oaks and city plain trees, there’s an occasional square of brown where the uniform tree pattern is abruptly missing [...]...(

It’s plum harvest time here in Southern California, a little earlier this year due to the recent heat. Today I’m looking forward to putting up a juicy batch of plums. As OrganicFoodee readers know, I’m not a fan of refined sugar at all, and yet, I do insist on using traditional recipes that contain sugar [...]...(

Fresh doubts have arisen about the safety of genetically modified crops, with a new study reporting presence of Bt toxin, used widely in GM crops, in human blood for the first time.

Organic flowers are grown without using nasty poisonous agrochemicals, resulting in more naturally beautiful looking flowers that don’t have the harmful impact on the Earth that non-organic flowers usually do. Because non-organic flowers aren’t eaten, they’re routinely grown with way more pesticides and chemical fertilizers than n...(

Breakfast is essential. Many scientific studies have found breakfast eaters achieve higher grades, earn larger salaries, have happier marriages, get into less accidents and stay alive longer. What the studies never figured out is the optimum thing to eat at breakfast.
Well, for my body at this age, I’ve got it figured! And it’s a [...]...(
