Guerrilla agriculture, at home and abroad.

Another article on delicious land reclamation for the purposes of sexy urban farming; this time, in Cleveland. I could not tell you why reading about projects of this type gives me such mad utopian joy, but there you go.

In other news, the beans were out of flower and growing themselves mightily when I checked on them this morning, and my first batch of small spicy death-radishes will be ready to go very soon. Perhaps pictures tonight, once I'm packed for Readercon.

I had half of the first yellow bean we grew this week.

I expect we'll have a more bountiful harvest in time, but still: bean! Yay!

Bean! There's something...weirdly ritual about eating the first one. :)

I have had a whole double handful of peas so far this summer, since my pea plants have exploded with babymaking. I think this might have to do with cool and rainy weather.
