Seeds vs Starts

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on May 12, 2017 Respond

Seeds and StartsEvery year right about this time of May, we all feel motivated to plant in the hopes of creating one of those beautiful gardens we see all around different neighborhoods.

Well If you are a not-quite-novice grower/planter like myself you are in luck because the folks from the Rio Grande Community Farm and the Seed Library of the Public Library of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County will be at the Rail Yards Market this (Event Page) Sunday May 14 from 10-2pm. They will be leading activities, giving away seeds and starts (starter plants) demoing techniques for you to create your own garden paradise!

Don’t know whether you should seed or start? Here is an informative article on whether you should seed or start courtesy of Vegetable Gardner. Personally i’m going to have a mixed garden, and I am still hopeful I can figure out this planting thing! Find out what else is going on at the Rail Yards Market by visiting http://railyardsmarket.org. Happy Planting!

Planting the Seeds of Kindness

Planting the Seeds of Kindness by Alex Paramo

As the Rail Yards Market’s 2nd Season comes closer to a close we reflect upon one of the many participants of the RYM that make it the wonderful event that it is: our Growers! Sunday, Oct 18 they celebrate the Harvest, focusing attention to the crucial service our local food growers play in our community. Here is a quick rundown of what they are doing:

STEAM Zones:

Planting KindnessIn the Live Art Zone the folks at Erda Gardens will have a presentation on how to make seed balls.

Also in the Children’s Zone, kids will participate in a seed matching game where the kids have seeds, produce and pictures of plants and the kids try to match them and find all three stages of growth for the same fruit or vegetable.

Main Stage entertainment will be lead by Doug Hoelbinger. Also the Tap City Kids of Albuquerque, Sazlar and Seth Hoffman with The Temporary Tattoos.

We have met many wonderful folks from all walks of life at the Rail yards Market. We hope that we have touched you the same way you all have touched us with your generosity, caring, support and friendship! I hope you join us in planting the seeds of kindness into all of our community members. See You Sunday!

The Rising Sun at the Rail Yards Market by Alex Paramo

Summer SolsticeThe Summer Solstice is when the summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere and for us living in Mountain Time Zone that moment is “officially” occurs at 4:51 AM on Saturday, June 21. Known as Litha in many pagan traditions, there are many celebrations that take place around the globe and and in many creative ways.

Summer Solstice and the Midsummer Night

Summer SolsticeIn Northern European countries, Midsummer is a very important celebration that revolves around the Summer Solstice. Sometime known as St. John’s Day, this celebration is as important as Christmas and New Years Day. The celebration is often celebrated with bonfires and there is usually a clear inter-mingling with Christian rituals.

Rail Yards Market Fun

Along with our usual fantastic food and local growers we have a plethora of activities planned for you and your family at the Rail Yards Market this Sunday!Summer Solstice Mandala
