Highlights from the Spring Vegetable Garden

Jim Parker — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:42:23 +0000

It’s still early in the spring vegetable garden and the majority of the planting is still ahead of me but I wanted to share some highlights and a couple of disappointments from this stage of the growing season.

Starting out with the old reliable crops that I can always depend on; the fall planted garlic, shallots, and multiplier onions are looking like they will all yield an awesome harvest this summer with plants that tall, healthy, and care-free. There are also leafy greens like kale, arugula, mustards that over wintered as usual and are now providing fresh leaves for salads, smoothies, and cooked meals.

Last November we attended the House Beautiful awards, a fun filled evening held at the London Science Museum. Here Oliver Hrubiak was awarded the Young Designer of the year award, for his unique chair design. Today, Oliver has written us a blog about his trip to the Ideal Home Show, on a quest for innovative new design.

Although this was my first visit to the Ideal Home Show, I’d visited several other similar trade shows in the past year and unsurprisingly the Ideal Home Show brought together the same faces and predictable products. But I was on the hunt for something new and exciting.

After passing several solid oak furniture stands and countless vegetable peeler demonstrations, I finally stumbled across My Funky. An emerging company exhibiting for the first time, their stand, vibrant and fresh, was full of brightly coloured steel lockers. A
