Bon Appetit!

Ashley and Joel Selby are the creative minds (and hands) behind Rational Jar of Honey, the culinary side of their studio, This Paper Ship. They live in a historic apartment in downtown Greensboro and consider themselves graphic designer-farmers, combining technology and nature in their every day lives.

What they lack in culinary education, they make up for by love of food, creativity, design skills, and (not to mention) hundreds of hours spent watching Food Network and poring over their cookbook library. They are inspired by the recent explosion of awesome food blogs and want to bring their own style and tastes to the mix.

Here's to good eating!

Urban garden progress…

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

We love May and we love May gardens! Things are starting to grow more rapidly in our front garden and pots. We’re happy when we look out our window and see so much green!

We have a ton of tomatoes and we can hardly wait for them to start producing! We got another one today from CSA as well. Mmmm, summer. Tomatoes just may be the best part about it!

The Urban Harvest CSA tomato plant and bok choy.

Urban Harvest CSA lettuce and fava beans.

Ashley is especially excited about the progress of the ornamental pepper from her wedding bouquet. It has really taken off! It will be fun to see it finally produce!

We hope to begin planting in the community garden this month as well (as soon as we pay for our spot). We have some edamame that could use a good transplant so that it gets more sun and space. The community garden is really looking incredible these days! We’re so excited to be a part of it.

This photo was taken a few weeks ago (it’s even grown a lot since then)!
