  That's a really great idea, amazingdrx! I was just dropping off my first grader at school this morning, and was hanging out by the playground before the bell, and was noticing that the school has a really huge south facing area that's nothing but asphalt pavement. Residential housing across the street on the other side of the chain link fence. Perfect place for a green house! And you say that we might be able to get CSAs to help out? Interesting. To their credit, the school already does have two gardens, one for the kindergartners and another for the rest of the school. Now that I think about it, both are on the north side of campus and they could be a lot better positioned. Hmm, now you got me thinking...!On Ask Umbra's video advice on making lunch matter posted 2 months ago 8 Responses

  Leftovers! Everyone else in the family HATES leftovers. I love 'em! Flavors blend together better by the second day. Just a matter of *remembering* to pack lunch! Thanks, Umbra!On Ask Umbra's video advice on making lunch matter posted 2 months ago 8 Responses

  @april:

  "I make a basic tomato sauce in late summer with fresh paste tomatoes and can it for use all year long. For this one, I turn to store-bought canned tomatoes."

  I'm expecting a bumper crop of tomatoes later this summer.  What's your version of this recipe using the fresh tomatoes?

  The idea of being able to store my homegrown and use it during the off season really appeals...!  Thanks in advance, and great post and pointer to the earth oven.
