Channeling Sophie's Garden

Carol's garden is in Port Hope MI, in a rural, lakeside community. She has lots of space and expertise. Laura' garden is located in Centralia WA, in a small suburban yard challenged by access to sun and space. Debbie's garden is in Deckerville MI, in a smaller rural yard, where rules are ignored.

Each of us is applying what we learned at at our mother's and grandmother's knees in space once owned by Sophie Mayer Birg Harter on Rangeline Road. Sophie immigrated to Detroit in 1908 from Heufeld, a once German (Donauschwaben) community of Hungary. Her hope lives on.

Mustard seeds

We started a batch of mustard greens and have been eating these tasty leaves in our salad for weeks. Now we're letting them flower and go to seed. This is a batch of standard yellow seed. Later this summer, we plan to plant black mustard seeds - the one's used to make dijon mustard.

    I wonder is it the same mustard we pull out as weeds! I have not tried mustard greens, but I buy a lot of mustard seeds to use in my pickles!!
