Blog: Grow And Share   -   Wednesday November 18, 2009   -   By Kay

Grow and Share has a supply of large plastic barrels we are recycling... These are a great size for rain barrels, just a little smaller than 55 gallon drums. If you don't need a rain barrel, they can be cut into halves and used as large planters. Or...

Farmer's Need Rain!

Blog: The Orchard at Apolloson Acres   -   Monday September 28, 2009   -   By Allison

Alas, the rain has hit us in NE Ohio! It's a much needed rain, especially on our farm where it fills our cistern, among other things! Apple Trees don't like "wet feet", but they do need a good watering every once and again. Horses do not like...

Blog: Boulder Belt Eco-Farm   -   Monday September 14, 2009   -   By Lucy

Greetings Farm Share Members It is week 23 for some of you and week 2 for others-it's a crazy farm share program we run. Almost no one else in the country will let new members in monthly. That makes us special. But it also makes it very hard to plan out the...

Blog: Westminster Farmers' Market   -   Saturday September 12, 2009   -   By Dean

  We had a good turnout at The Westminster Farmer's Market on a rainy Friday afternoon. Eighteen venders set up even though it poured during the first hour. Customers showed up with umbrellas. The rain stopped after 4 PM, and the customer flow picked...

Rain Gutters = Dry Pigs

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Chris

One of the projects that was on the slate this summer was to install gutters along the front edge of the barn.  Mainly I wanted to keep some of the water out of the pig pen, but also I wanted to try to keep the rain splashing on the barn sills to a...

Boulder Belt Farm Share Initiative, Week 11

Blog: Boulder Belt Eco-Farm   -   Tuesday June 23, 2009   -   By Lucy

The Race Is On

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Sunday June 21, 2009   -   By Chris

It's been raining on and off for almost three weeks now here in Southern New England.  The forcast calls for rain and thunder storms for the next 7 days.  This is good for some of our garden but detrimental to tomatoes, peppers, and people who don't...

Rain Again!?

Blog: Debbie's Garden   -   Sunday May 24, 2009   -   By Chickadee1

Hi from Marietta, GA! We are having RAIN again, or is that, STILL? I haven't seen this much rain for years. I guess we should be catching up on what we've missed the past several years. Unfortunately some of my plants are actually "drowning" so to...

Blog: Cottonwood Farm   -   Saturday May 02, 2009   -   By Kathy & Lynn

Ok...it's May 2nd.  We've had the April showers...oh, man, did we ever.  So much it's now spread into May.  It's chilly and damp outside, and I'm bitting at the bit to get outside and do something....but there is nothing I can do!  ...

It's a rainy day in Oregon...

Blog: OtterBee's Farm and Fungi   -   Saturday May 02, 2009   -   By Rich & Kathleen

Rain, rain, go away...but not really - the new raspberry patch and fingerling taters are loving it right about now! Funny how Ma Nature steps in right when one needs her! Let me explain: earlier this Spring, we chose to site the new berry patch...

Wind, Rain and the Lenten Rose

Blog: Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)   -   Friday April 03, 2009   -   By Christine

   Yesterday's weather proved to be as glorious as the optimists had predicted. The chilly early morning gave way to above average warmth by noon. The children at school quickly shed their heavy winter jackets, and the birds sang loudly....
