Here’s what we’ve found as we’ve traveled the local PDX web (complete with our comments) for April 2nd:
- Portland Mercury – Blogtown, PDX | Your Victory Garden! – Patrick Alan Coleman writes: "It’s probably never going to replace going to the grocery store. It takes a good deal of effort. It takes a good deal of patience. Supplies can be cheap, but they will still cost money. That’s true for starts, seeds, soil amendment, etc. You’ll have to learn a thing or two. Slugs will totally be all up in your basil like they own that shit.
That being said, my wife and I will be planting every free patch of dirt we have available this year. It’ll be a slow process but I’m looking forward to it. This is not about connecting to the earth. It’s about supplementing my diet.
If you’re interested in turning your parking strip, backyard or front yard into an edible landscape, check (the linked post for a ton of local resources)"
- Twitter – pdx PLATE – I could have stopped by Nostrana for gnocchi Thursday? Who knew! But if I'd stopped by this new-to-me site & checked out the list of local PDX restaurants Twittering their specials, I'd have known : "This page shows all the latest Twitter posts ("tweets") from Portland-area restaurants. If you don't see the latest tweets from your favorite place, go to the forums and let us know."
- The New York Times’ Frugal Traveler visiting Portland – Via Dave, the Frugal Traveler *says* he wants to hear from us: "So sign up for Twitter, follow @frugaltraveler and let me know what I should (or shouldn’t) be doing in and around Portland — and beyond." (I *had* to tip him off to Food Carts Portland, of course!)
