The Brussel Sprout Tree – Dominguez High
Great conditions, growing medium and green-thumbs have totally helped our brussel sprouts from last year’s program become the brussels of the year! On year two of its biannual life cycle, these brussels bear even more than the first year. Though they may need their first outer leaves removed, these rich buttery prize possessions are welcomed to the Dominguez kitchen any day. 
White Russian Kale and large leaf basil on its last leg, but oh so good!

Fearless Kale Eaters
This Los Angeles version of spring is upon us, preemptively sending lettuces to bolt, premature marigolds to flower, and beans to pack-it-in. We’ve sadly had to watch (and taste) our super sweet snap peas go from juicy candy to cellulose-y seed bombs, but behold!—our leafy greens—rainbow chard, lacinato kale, and purple kale have become…

Hello gardeners, we’ll pick up where we left on last week’s post about our Pepper plants at the Mid City Prescott Farm.

Pruining and weeding on these first weeks of flowering
Hello Hello! Mid City Prescott’s school farm is thriving! Our latest gardening action has consisted on lots and lots of weeding around our row beds, grass is doing just as well as our crops. I think rather sooner than later, we will get some mulch to lay around most of our rows. Before and after…
