Picked the last of the cantaloupe today... Had a great dinner of home grown kale, tomatoes, & winter squash (with chicken). The cover crop is...
Donna, I like the look of your cold frame. Looks like you can winter over a whole league of stuff!
I just read a fiction book, The Language of Flowers (Vanessa Diffenbaugh) in which the 2 main characters communicate through flowers. While...
Sounds interesting Kate. I might see if I can read a sample of it. I am in a book club & am always looking for interesting books to read. Right...

Growing up we had a flock of chickens in NJ. One year, a group of them took to roosting in the neighbor's tree. I don't know why, they had a...
Oh. Maybe I'll do that.
Carolyn, Yes! That is what I have been thinking: anything is better than nothing. I saw Sjoerd uses phacelia in one part of his garden. I am...
