A few weeks ago I shared on our Facebook page that I was getting
excited about ordering seeds for 2013. Our friend and CSA customer Joli
Lorion-Fytczyk commented asking about what sorts of plants to grow in a
shaded yard. What a wonderful question! She...

Seems like anytime I’m making small talk these days I’m asked “How’s your garden?” (No complaints here; I’m happy to share!)

expected. I just paid the garden a visit yesterday for the first...

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday! We enjoyed ours and know that we have much to be thankful for.
Many of you probably also ‘celebrated’ Black Friday by standing in
unbelievably long lines early in the cold morning to get great deals on...

It’s fall. Big time. Temperatures are dropping along with brown and
orange leaves. The tomato plants are bending beneath the weight of green
fruit hoping for enough time. (I’ll be picking them before we get
frost.) The zucchini, cucumbers and beans are...

It is just past midnight and everything except for a few
very last minute picks everything has been picked, washed, bagged tagged and packed. I don’t think my car has ever been fuller. We are still looking for a van that is within

We ENJOYED our first beefsteak tomato of the season. It was big enough one tomato was all we
needed. It was good, full of flavor and
just the right amount of acidity. I have

It rained and they say more is coming. Tom is relieved … so am I. It came softly and the clouds moved in and so
most of it is soaking in. We still need
more but this was as close to a perfect rain as it probably gets. For now...

Sunday morning Autie woke up at 2:30 a.m. (as I was hoping
to finally go to bed) with a fever and throwing up. With Tom in the midst of wheat harvest I was
unable to make it to the Old Cheney Road Farmers Market in Lincoln, NE. Normally Tom...

Memorial Day weekend was nice. I did not go to my markets. The crowds are usually low and my produce was
not quite there. This was our chance to

So this week I have busied myself picking mulberries, picking
peas, and enjoying Olivia’s first t-ball game.
With the exception of t-ball, there is a fair amount
of time to think. When my hands are
busy, but my mind free to wonder… all...
