Bloom Dates of Plants for Deary ID USA 83823
Honey bees have been in the news for a few years now. With the advent of Colony Collapse Disorder all sorts of kind people all over the world are trying to help. Here on our permaculture farm we are planting flowers, trees and herbs to increase the variety of habitat for the bees. We figured the more time they can spend collecting pollen and nectar and the less time they spend being fed by sugar water and man-made pollen patties the better so we are focusing more on the beginning and end of the season plants to feed the bees. Because of this, IN 2015 I kept a diary of all the bloom times of the plants on our farm (the start times, not the duration of bloom). Here’s what I came up with:
Workshop-Double Chamber Cob Oven
A cob oven is affordable, fireproof, inexpensive, beautiful and sustainable. You can build them yourself, incorporating unlimited creative hand-formed durable shapes. A popular backyard project made of earthen clay, sand and straw, these ovens can be built in a day or two. They burn scrap wood and can bake all day starting with pizza then moving to bread, roasts, stews and ending up with drying fruits/veggies and herbs or making a batch of yogurt. Erica says they make heavenly scones as well! We’re looking forward to trying that. This workshop course for our double camber cob oven will cover: •A lecture/demonstration on Fire Science
•Planning the cob oven •Designing the cob oven Constructing and installing a double chamber cob oven (the base will be in place before the workshop) •Building a sand mold for the double chamber cob oven
•Mixing and testing cob (monolithic adobe) and earthen plaster •Applying three layers of cob onto the sand mold
