Harvest 2022

12/5/2022

0 Comments

 
This previous weekend, I joined the Three Village Historical Society, to take a candle light tour of historical homes near the area of the original small hamlet called Setauket on Long Island. This area is well known for operations conducted by George Washington’s spies, also know as the Secret Six.
​
One of the homes on the tour focussed on their barn, garden and a room built for home canning of fruits and veggies grown. What caught my eye was the chart published by Macy’s department store on growing a Victory Garden at home in order to help with
 World War One's food supplies.

Macys, World War One, Victory Gardens, Macy's, gardens, planting, growing food, veggies, fruit, harvest, going true green, going green, sustainable living, sustainability, beets, carrots, artichokes, figs, sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce, peppers, peas, pea pods, cabbage, squash, eggplant, cucumbers, spinach, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes
Enlage Image to Read Interesting Details
My garden doesn’t come close to any property that could support what is presented on the chart, I only have about 10 feet by 25 feet of space to grow food. Nevertheless, I do what I am capable of within my own budget of time, money and knowledge. This available space that I use is almost half my back yard property. I am thankful for that amount of ground and I have chosen to grow food because of the following reasons:
  • I can eat fresh amazing tasting food
  • I can share the same with family and friends
  • I can appreciate what is "needed" for a happy life, not what is “wanted"
  • I can enjoy the wonder shown on the faces of those who taste a carrot just harvested from the earth for the first time
  • I can watch the smile grow on a child after they enjoy the grape jam just made or the astonished look on my father when he says: "This is the most delicious tomato I ever had, and I have eaten many tomatoes over my 90 years of life!”
  • And the last reason is to be more humus, the Latin humus definition
I am sharing all this because I am not only thankful to God for what I harvest, but I want to also offer support to everyone else with a yard, windowsill, rooftop or empty field to do the same. Just imagine if we all used the space available to us to grow food how that would change the world. More organic food means less chemicals, more food for those in need and delicious amazing fresh meals made for those that come over to share a table and give thanks with us.

In total, for 2022, I harvested the following with the help of my small greenhouse and my own compost material that I used for nutrients:
R.H. Macys, World War One, Victory Gardens, Macy's, gardens, planting, growing food, veggies, fruit, harvest, going true green, going green, sustainable living, sustainability, beets, carrots, artichokes, figs, sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce, peppers, peas, pea pods, cabbage, squash, eggplant, cucumbers, spinach, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, greenhouse
I also had blueberries, grapes, and the following herbs growing in cedar wood pots:
​Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Oregano and Mint.


Start small like I did so many years ago and slowly "grow" into the most you can grow. Each year is a new experience and the learning curve improves year after year. Changing the world as an individual with God's guidance is the only way our environment, our happiness and our future will be secured.

Al Borland and Rounded Curves

8/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Richard Karn who played the character Al Borland in the TV show Home Improvement saw and Liked our GoingTrueGreen blog called, MORE POWER. These two words happened to also be a widely used saying in the TV show, thus obtaining the attention of Mr. Karn.

The information was put out by our parent company, BBV Publishing and the image below captures the details, as well as our more power created by my solar system on my energy efficient house. No electric bill what so ever for over 7 years now. In fact, the utility pays me for the excess power I create. AND all done without any sacrifices, yes the AC is running all summer long. Note the smooth rounded curve in the image!


We are thankful and greatly appreciative to Mr. Karn for finding our blog noteworthy. ​

​In other news from GoingTrueGreen that has Rounded Curves, I want to share this image of my own homegrown bumpy tomatoes! They don't have smooth rounded curves because this is what tomatoes really looked like originally!


The smooth rounded supermarket tomatoes are from the work done by Alexander Livingston in the 1860s where his hybrid tomato offered a more uniformly rounded fruit with more red color. Compared to the odd shape and bumpy original tomato, the groundbreaking work increased sales as the commodity was more pleasing to the eye.





​However tomatoes were misunderstood many times:
- Fruit or Veggie? Tomatoes are fruit.
- They were believed to be poisonous in eighteenth century Europe because aristocracy ate off of pewter plates which had lead in them. The tomatoes acidity caused some of the lead toxin to leach out and some people died from lead poisoning.
- In the early 1900s, bigotry increased against Italian immigrants in New York City selling tomatoes on street carts, but the bill to label tomatoes poisonous and make them illegal to sell never came to be.


Nevertheless, along with the first pizza being created in Naples Italy, the rest is history or herstory. Either way, his story or her story, the fruit is delicious. Especially when grown in your own garden, with your own compost and picked fresh to eat that very same day.

Mangia! Mangia!

Inflation + Recession = Food Gardens

8/15/2022

Recession, Inflation, Food Gardens, garden, food shopping, sustainability, going green, going true green, Biden's Recession, Victory Gardens, saving money, saving healthOffset Recession and Inflation with a Garden
I have been blogging for years that we all should grow whatever food we can, wherever we can. From empty lots to roof tops and from backyards to window sills. Below are a few Links to those blogs, peruse their content when you want to learn more:

Victory Gardens / Mowing Down The Lawn / Green Earth / Benefits To Growing Food / Watermelon With Seeds


Because the United States now has high Inflation along with a Recession added into the equation, the media is talking about the need for people to start thinking about growing some of their own food! After all, many Food Markets are low in stock and skimpy in available choices.

Don't get me wrong, having a food garden of any size is work and having one to provide for yearly food needs is not possible for most of us. I put a great deal of time into my garden and that takes precision scheduling on my part. I have a well diversified work, business and volunteer schedule. I am not a farmer, yet this year I am enjoying the bounty of fresh grown produce such as:

So please don't hesitate giving a GO or Hand at growing a food garden. Especially now that prices are through the sky with our economy holding high inflation and saddled with a recession. Also do not overlook composting! Use my 'SEARCH' box at the very top of each page to find info and blogs on composting.

1,000 Red Cherry Tomatoes

11/29/2021

garden, cherry tomatoes, tomato, greenhouse garden, sustainability, going true green, going green, growing food, compost, compostingCherry Tomatoes
As the leaves on my one Cherry Tomato plant start to wither due to the extra cold nights and minimal sunlight from the shorter winter days, I look back on the last 7 months and the One Thousand Cherry Tomatoes which we received.

There are about 25 green Cherry Tomatoes still on the plant, but after picking the 1,000th one yesterday, I am not sure if the remaining ones will ripen. Nevertheless, I am sharing this information to inspire others to also grow whatever they deem possible. A yard, terrace, window shelf and applicable roof, will all suffice to various degrees.

For me the following actions have brought me to 1,000 Cherry Tomatoes from one plant:
​
- Composting
- A greenhouse
- A rope trestle (The plant grew 7 feet tall and then curve back downward 7 feet)
- A soaker gardenhose with timer
- Pruning and pruning and pruning
- Natural homemade spray for bugs
- Marigolds for insects
- More Compost

We enjoyed the 1,000 Cherry tomatoes by making:
Soups
Salads
Bruschetta
Pasta Sauce
Pizza Sauce
and just eating them as a snack!


Also we loved s​haring them with friends and family who stopped by for a visit.

Harvest of Mine and You Can Too

10/10/2021

1 Comment

 
I am not a farmer, I only have about 10 feet by 25 feet of space to grow food and I do the best that I am capable of within my own budget of time, money and knowledge. This available space that I use is almost half my back yard. I am thankful for that amount of ground and I have chosen to grow food over using the space for any of the other outdoor elements people enjoy. Why?
​So I can eat fresh amazing tasting food, so I can share the same with family and friends, so I can appreciate what is "needed" for a happy life, not what is "wanted". So I can enjoy the wonder shown on the faces of those who taste a carrot just harvested from the earth for the first time, so I can watch the smile grow on a child after they enjoy the grape jam just made or the astonished look on my father when he says: "This is the most delicious tomato I ever had, and I have eaten many tomatoes over my 89 years of life!" And the last reason is to be more humus, the Latin humus definition.
I am sharing all this because I am not only thankful to God for what I Harvest, I am shocked at how well my organic food growing has turned out. Due to this, I want to offer support and confidence to everyone else with a yard, windowsill, rooftop or empty field to do the same. Just imagine if we all used the space available to us to grow food how that would change the world. More organic food means less chemicals, more food for those in need and delicious amazing fresh meals made for those that come over to share a table and give thanks with us.

Now please do not assume that I have everything working out so easily. While this year has produced the most produce for me, I also had the most in failed crops. I had planted 8 Brussel sprout plants and lost all to insects, my sweet pea crop was almost ready to harvest and then turned white as they died off, and the scallions I planted have failed to sprout. Nevertheless, my harvest can be your kind of harvest within your available space, time and money.

The images playing in the video above are some dishes made and food grown. In total so far this year, I harvested the following with the help of my own compost material that I used for topsoil and nutrients:
6 Beets, one plant
82 cucumbers, one plant
15 Zucchini, one plant
491 Cherry Tomatoes and counting, one plant
​10 Roma Tomatoes and counting, one plant
​12 White Eggplant and counting, three plants
​10 Purple Eggplant and counting, one plant
​5 Green Peppers and counting, one plant
14 carrots and counting

I also had / have blueberries, grapes, figs, onions and several herbs growing in cedar wood pots.

Start small like I did so many years ago and slowly "grow" into the most you can grow. Each year is a new experience and the learning curve improves year after year. Changing the world as an individual with God's guidance is the only way our environment, our happiness and our future will be secured.

The other day I received a text with a few photos from cousins that were celebrating a wedding anniversary on the East end of Long Island. They knew that the flowers called Dahlias had a strong memory connection for me and sent the photo shown on the viewer's right for this page.

While enjoying part of a beautiful day at this peaceful garden for their anniversary, they also noticed that this Dahlia garden was a farm. Upon viewing signage about composting, they couldn't resist sending me photos of the information boards that were on displayed. Since they know how much I enjoy talking about composting!

Now I am posting the images of these display boards about composting on this Going True Green blog post because of the important basic information they state and the image layouts. I believe the information is helpful for everyone and a great start for those looking to start their own composting actions to help save money, energy and our environment. Happy anniversary and best wishes to all the future composting fans.

Basil, Oregano and Thyme
A Triple H is always wonderful... Just sharing that my first Healthy Herb Harvest for this year came in last month and the aromas were amazing! They are always amazing each time a new pick is done.

Having your own herbs is something we all can do! From
clay flower pots on a windowsill or in a small sunny area of a yard or on a green roof top. Add some compost,* that can be made by us over the winter months, along with appropriate watering, we can all enjoy some fresh picked Basil or Mint or Oregano or Parsley.

NOTE: Herbs such as Thyme, Sage and Lavender are perennials. Parsley is a biennial and Basil is an annual. Use this information to plan for getting seeds.
* Use the SEARCH text box at the top of this page for more information on making your own top soil, aka: Compost. Just type in the word COMPOST.
Bon Appétit !

Don’t Wait For The Rebate

4/15/2021

0 Comments

 
Going True Green, Going Green, Eco-Friendly, Weed Trimmer, rebates, utility rebates, rechargeable lawn mower, weed trimmer, sustainabilityExample of a rebate insert, mailed with utility bill, fine print on utilities' websites
With Earth Day coming and Spring in the air, some Utility companies are again offering Rebates for certain products. The big push this time is on energy saving appliances and rechargeable cordless yard tools.

Some of us may have put off buying an Eco-Friendly Weed Trimmer or a new lawn mower to see what Rebates would be offered. Any savings, either from the manufacturer or utility company always helps. Yet, does the wait for the rebate really help save us the most money and our environment?

When considering the benefits for our environment as well as our wallet, the answer is NO.

The reasons are based on the amount of time we could have already been saving money and our environment, along with the fine print stating the qualifying rules to receive the rebate.

Allow me to break down some issues: 

To wait until next year to see what rebate may or may not be offered for a rechargeable lawn mower to replace an old gasoline mower, is a gamble. The odds are no rebate will be offered and yet, we can be saving money, oil, gasoline, noise and energy for a year ahead of time.

One current $40.00 rebate for a rechargeable lawn mower is also elusive. The fine print will state something like “Up To $40.00” and using a rechargeable lawn mower for a year prior will probably save that much in gasoline and oil alone.

Another caveat in the fine print will state that the product had to be purchased in the last 45 days! The rebate program wasn’t previously announced and the ads mailed out with the utility bills are really just for PR (Public Relations) work that aim to receive a favorable public opinion about the company’s so called concern for helping the environment.

Bottom Line: That rechargeable lawn mower under the Christmas Tree, doesn’t get a rebate. Neither does the one purchased on the President’s Day sale in February, because the rebate program started in April and 45 days ago also disqualifies that purchase.

Additionally, if we run out upon receiving the rebate notice and buy a rechargeable lawn mower, that too does not qualify, because of the wording stating, “Purchased WITHIN the last 45 days.”

How sincere is a rebate program that doesn’t give advance notice and when notice is received, the time to qualify has already concluded?

Don’t wait for the rebate!
Let us start saving on our own as soon as we can.
This is up to us. Our environment is not going to be saved by a corporation, politician, government, organization or celebrity. Each one of us is the superhero.

As we approach the end of October, I am also approaching the end of my small garden's bounty of food. Despite a few cold nights last week, my garden has endured. Tomatoes abound and I still have eggplant growing. ​I did just pick the last of my carrots, but I am very happy with my organic harvest.

As I have said before in previous Going True Green blog posts, the actions I have taken with having a food garden are the same actions we can all do, obviously to various degrees based on what you have available. A yard, terrace, or window shelf, all suffice to those various degrees. So please consider growing some food for yourself, family, friends, and strangers next year.

Additionally, 
for the coming winter months, I have canned Grape jam and Blueberry jam; froze blueberries and homemade tomato sauces and dried various herbs.

The end product is an individual action that allows you and others to live a more sustainable life that saves, money, energy, health and earth.

Summer 2020, Soylent Green 2022

9/30/2020

soylent green, Charlton Heston, taylor young, Edward G. Robinson, Scene from 1973 Soylent Green movie
Summers come and go, but this summer felt like the summertime enjoyment never arrived. Times are difficult, I know first hand how much with the loss of friends and family. We held on and pushed forward. These efforts also included continuing actions for living a more sustainable life.

Food supplies became an issue for many more people this year, especially for those of us who were sick in bed. Now while food is a major environmental issue, we the people must change the tide of reductionist. Our food supply is not an automatic conveyor belt to our dinning table. However, despite our ecological surroundings being resilient, we all still need to review our own efforts for obtaining food.

We cannot wait around for "technology" to solve all of our needs for food. There was a movie made about this very topic back in 1973. The title: Soylent Green and the story takes place in the year 2022!

The plot was straight forward... Overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion reduced society's leaders to providing an artificial nourishment to the teeming masses. Actual ingredients are not made known and soy is not an ingredient. A homicide detective stumbles onto the secret that is so unbelievable, no one would believe him.


Nevertheless, if you have a yard, terrace, or window shelf, please consider growing some food for yourself, family, friends, and strangers. This year, even now at the end of September, I still have watermelon and eggplant growing.

In my clay or cedar wood pots I grew:

In the long run, we all can grow some food, we can all make the difference, we are the solutions.
