2025: New Beginnings at CommonWealth Urban Farms!

2025 Partner Farmers Lia’s Garden at CommonWealthI took a bit of time-off over the winter to recharge my batteries, including lots of long walks in the woods. Now I’m starting hundred of seeds every week, and our compost-heated greenhouse is keeping my baby plants warm and happy through these up and down temperatures. Even after […]

Happy Winter Gardening at CommonWealth Urban Farms

Winter in the Garden Yep, it finally feels like winter! Contrary to popular assumption, winter is a great time to garden in Oklahoma. Indeed, cold weather prompts many plants to turn their starches to sugars, resulting in the sweetest of carrots, turnips, spinach, kale and other roots and greens. These are all cold-hardy vegetables; freezing […]

Zinnia Power

I confess. I used to detest zinnias. Bright, bold and brassy, zinnias are a neon type of flower. But when I first started growing cut flowers, I found zinnias to be the top flower – not amongst the top, but THE top flower – on one after another Top Ten list by flower farmers across the country. OK, OK, I said, […]

Tomatoes and More Tomatoes!

IMHO, summer = tomatoes. Tomatoes! We got ’em. We have an abundance of both slicers and cherry tomatoes this week. It’s the season for sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, panzanella salad (that’s the one with tomatoes, cucumbers, basil & croutons – I could eat this every day all summer), pasta with sautéed cherry tomatoes, bruschetta, […]

This Week at CommonWealth: Tomatoes & Flowering Fireworks

Ah, tomatoes! July is tomato month. Pictured here is Early Girl, a tomato we appreciate for being both early and flavorful. Most tomato plants take a break when hot weather really sets in; Juliet and Verona are mini-roma tomatoes that will keep producing even in August in Oklahoma. As is often the case, our best producer this year is a tasty little cherry tomato […]

Leaky Buckets & Economic Independence

With the 4th of July upon us, I keep thinking about an article I read from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics. “In the leaky bucket analogy for local economies, money flows into a region to circulate through local businesses like water into a bucket. Water that leaks out is money that escapes the local economy to pay […]

Be Happy & Eat Your Veggies

If they’re really GOOD veggies, they will make you happy! Come on by our Farm Stand on Saturday morning. We’re getting rave reviews on our new potatoes, both the Yukon Gold and Red Pontiac. My personal favorite this week is our Black Summer bok choy – both because it’s short and plump and pretty dang […]

This Week at CommonWealth: Bountiful

Rain again! Someone turned the spigot off and the heat on, a couple weeks ago. We are so grateful to have rain again. Nothing like the garden to give you a daily consciousness of the weather! Our most productive harvest years have always been when we had frequent rain. Plants may not require that much […]
