Garden Talk: An Over-do Garden Update!
http://pacifica-gardens.blogspot.com/2009/06/over-do-garden-update.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. An Over-do Garden Update! Actually, it sprang rather suddenly and jubilantly many weeks ago, and now we're up to our eyeballs in chard, quinoa, strawberries, and loads of other goodies! We've been so busy cultivating and caring for the garden, in fact, that we abandoned our blogging duties entirely. We hope you'll forgive us and accept this very condensed list of what what's been sprouting all winter long as our way of making it up to you. 8226; Began a Teen Community Service program.

Circle of the Sun: Hive Update, Spring 2013
http://royermillers.blogspot.com/2013/05/hive-update-spring-2013.html
Circle of the Sun. Inroads to Sustainable Living. Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Hive Update, Spring 2013. Just a brief few words on the state of beekeeping at Circle of the Sun. The hive has multiplied, though not of its own volition. Time will tell how this all plays out, and you can count on a fall update to fill you in. May 30, 2013 at 8:23 AM. Finding waxmoths at work, so cool! Not finding them at home, even better! July 26, 2013 at 2:35 AM. Dear Margo and Dan. Hope you are doing fine, am Philip Munyasia ...

Circle of the Sun: If You Love Children...
http://royermillers.blogspot.com/2013/02/if-you-love-children.html
Circle of the Sun. Inroads to Sustainable Living. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. If You Love Children. It is late, and I am tired. But I am also inspired. As I was washing dishes tonight, I finished watching a documentary worth seeing: Consuming Kids. If you love children, work with children, buy gifts for children, or care about the future this documentary is relevant and potent. If I weren't so tired, I would offer more review and more thoughts of my own- but gosh will I sleep again? A Bit About Us. Our p...

Circle of the Sun: September 2014

Circle of the Sun. Inroads to Sustainable Living. Thursday, September 18, 2014. Hive Update, Fall 2014. Bees This Time. Alright, lets see if we can get at least two posts in this year. I wish I had the time and focus to fit all the experiments I tried on my bees in the last two years here, but I'll just have to go with a synopsis:. Who knows. They're placed at a distance from my everyday routine so I wouldn't have seen them. This time I had four supers, and one of two colonies that seemed a titch aggress...

Circle of the Sun: August 2012
http://royermillers.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Circle of the Sun. Inroads to Sustainable Living. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. The Other Liquid Gold. It's our first year keeping bees, so everything is new, every event is a mystery, and every new stage catches me by surprise. How many times have you been stung? Just three. OUCH! You spend the whole year trying to keep the bees calm and chill, and then, once a year, you throw them into flurry with relatively little regard. My favorite part, I think, was figuring out how to most effectively give the f...

The Golden Rule Garden: June 2009
http://goldenrulegarden.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
The Golden Rule Garden. An Agricultural Epic of Small-Scale Proportions. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. A bit belated, it's true, but for good reasons. Not only is it the longest day of the year, it is also a choice time for weddings, and we attended two great ones. The asparagus has gone to seed, now looking reminiscent of fennel. The comfrey is ready to be harvested for the second time this season, to go into compost piles as immature material. Untouched. I will plan to put a post in on them soon, after d...

The Golden Rule Garden: December 2009
http://goldenrulegarden.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Golden Rule Garden. An Agricultural Epic of Small-Scale Proportions. Thursday, December 10, 2009. This is How we Roll. I have long been wanting to get to this subject - the processing of grain directly before eating. There is one grain so soft that you don't have to boil or grind it to make it edible, and that is the oat. And our past garden manager at Ecology Action has the perfect oat tool: a roller. Letting them sit over night will soften them sufficiently to roll, then you go for it! Not long aft...

The Golden Rule Garden: November 2009
http://goldenrulegarden.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Golden Rule Garden. An Agricultural Epic of Small-Scale Proportions. Monday, November 30, 2009. A Couple of Friends (Part 1). They've been staying with us for a few years now, and we couldn't be happier. I'm talking about Mr. Sourdough and Ms. Kombucha, our two fantastic fermenting friends. Seriously, once you commit to them, it is hard to leave them behind when you go on trips of more than a week. You care about them, and don't believe anyone will treat them as good as you can. The process is very s...

The Golden Rule Garden: January 2012
http://goldenrulegarden.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Golden Rule Garden. An Agricultural Epic of Small-Scale Proportions. Sunday, January 8, 2012. Dreaming of Spring (Wheat). The garden is deceptively quiet this time of year – the slow growing cover crops, winter grains, and garlic seem almost dormant. However, thanks to our fertile soil, the weeds gladly fill the vacuum whenever and wherever an opportunity presents itself! Our barn is looking better than ever. After perusing the Kusa Seeds catalogue, we settled on the “Embassy Wheat Suite”...Is a spri...
