I started The Year of the flood by Margaret Atwood with a certain amount of reserve. I hadn’t particularly enjoyed Oryx and Crake , having found it full of interesting science, but lacking when it came to characterisation (interestingly, having now read her new book I think I will go back to Oryx and Crake ...17 hours ago -

The jury is still out on the naked seed pumpkin in our garden. The idea of seeds you can just eat straight out of the pumpkin without shelling is intriguing, and I had grown Snack Jack before. But, with all the harvesting and preserving projects each fall, adding one more job that needed attention at that busy ...1 day ago -

Many of us who live more rurally are not on city water, we have our own wells. With those wells come some maintenance issues and certain responsibilities. I love having a well.

Throwback at Trapper Creek —

I planned accordingly this year, and didn’t overplant my Napoli and Nelson summer carrots. Too tender to overwinter in my garden, always splitting from the increased moisture, and a pain to deal with. I got the last of those pulled before the rains are really here to stay. The Royal Chantenay fares better ...1 week ago -
