The End of Summer…And Finally the Start of a Kitchen!
Unlike last summer where I had over 100 heads of garlic, this crop, because of all the rain (and the flooding in particular), yielded less than 50. Of those 50, the cloves were very small. I might have picked them … Continue reading

Definitely Not A Pioneer Woman
This past 4th of July tested me. First, with all the flooding that hit Central New York State in the past week, we weren’t sure what we would find when we got up to the Red House. Thing is the … Continue reading

More Garlic And A Field Gone Wild With A Few Movie Memories Thrown In
When the leaves turn red, yellow and orange in this neck of the woods, they truly are spectacular. Which is why I now understand, why “going to see the leaves” can and will command top dollar if you want to … Continue reading

Planting, A New Fence, and Please No More Pizza on the Grill!
I rarely write about something kind of dumb that my husband has done…yet, when it comes to gardening, well, I just had to share this one. When I’m busy (which is always), he offers to “help.” This could be something … Continue reading
