Southwestern Endangered Aridland Resources Clearing House

April 11, 2014

 We envision the Greater Southwest as a place where farms and gardens,
kitchens and tables, stores and restaurants are brimming with the full diversity of aridlands-adapted heirloom crops; people are keeping the unique seeds and agricultural heritage alive;
and the crops, in turn, are nourishing humankind.

April NS/S Salon: "Harvesting Hope" 
With Iskashitaa Director Barbara Eiswerth
080717_8896-5_hi_res 2

Chances are you or your neighbor has a citrus tree in your backyard producing more fruit than you can use. All over Tucson, tens of thousands of pounds of fruits, vegetables, nuts and even edible weeds are going to waste. The Iskashitaa Refugee Network identifies harvests, distributes and preserves these local food resources to feed families instead of landfills.

At the next NS/S Salon, Iskashitaa founder and director Barbara Eiswerth will discuss multiethnic uses and harvesting tips for local citrus, carob, dates and more. She will also offer a deeper understanding of refugee settlement here in Tucson and around the world.

The Desert Gardener: What to Plant?

It’s getting closer to planting time for high desert gardeners and others in short-season areas. As you plan your garden, check out these two varieties newly available from the Native Seeds/SEARCH collection.

Navajo Pumpkin, a classic orange pumpkin traditionally dry-farmed in the Big Mountain Area of the Navajo Reservation in northeast Arizona. Produces medium sized round pumpkins weighing between 6-12 pounds.

Tarahumara Epachi Corn, a beautiful and fast maturing popcorn variety. Lovely pearly white kernels with occasional lavender and purple kernels. The 5-6' tall plants produce slender 6" ears.

Choose from these and hundreds of other delicious, diverse varieties on our website. Best wishes for an abundant spring!
