Rainy Day Garden Gab
Welcome to rain-apocalypse 2012 at least that is how the weather team on T.V. is treating it. It’s been raining here for a little over 12 hours. Storming, wind howling, thunder booming, lightning flashing, big, cold drops of rain falling. Since we just planted the garden, this is a blessing and a curse. Water …

Sweet Carrot Pickles
I’m sad to report that the giant carrots seem to be all gone now. For two weekly visits in a row (last week and this week), I have been unable to find the giant carrots at the Farmer’s Market. My son thinks they are freaks of nature, he has not been enjoying the über carrots. …
Garden Gab, week 21….a cool down, a loss and a nursery rhyme
Mary Mary quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row, And pretty maids all in a row. That’s how the nursery rhyme goes, however I was disturbed when I looked up the meaning of the rhyme. It’s about Queen Mary, torture and executions. …
