This month of giving thanks begins with honoring the dead and ends with a feast that just about kills us, or at the very least puts us into a turkey-induced stupor. “What a long strange trip it’s been” (sly homage to the Dead) My harvest this year was an unexpected one that I’m still learning [...]

Northwesties are typically a positive sort, not generally given to constantly complaining about the weather. After all, this is the land of “sun [...]
Anyone who lives and gardens in the Pacific Northwest knows spring is a bit late showing up this year. It’s hard to complain when other parts of the country are still getting snow; and goodness knows, a tornado does a lot more damage then a pesky late frost. So I’m trying to take this cold [...]
Its the time of year when a gal’s thoughts turn toward SEED! For some it’s shoes… are you listening, dear daughter? Others can’t resist the latest bestseller or glossy magazine. I suppose there are those out there who indulge in jewels, real estate and travel. I don’t know them. Thankfully for me – and my [...]

…Microgreens It’s mid-winter and I’m starting to get a little desperate to harvest something fresh from the garden. Plastic boxes of washed greens are convenient but a sorry second to truly fresh salads. Here’s a way to put all those plastic containers to good use and yield a fresh crop of tiny, tender, tangy microgreens. [...]
