Seventh Generation, the company that makes all sorts of eco-smart and recycled products for your home, asked me if I’d like a box of their products to check out. We already use Seventh Generation products, so why not say yes to some free stuff? Seventh Generation is rolling out new natural disinfecting wipes, and as [...]
yes, you should. Some kind words from Life Adorned a yarn – crafter who watches GardenFork, AND also spins her own yarn, makes yarn based things, and sells them on Etsy. In other words, someone who would of course watch GardenFork. my 2 favorite things about this podcast: (1) eric is a trial-and-error kind of [...]
After reading a glowing article in Bee Culture about Jennifer Berry and her excellent queen rearing program, we have decided to replace the queens in both our hives with queens from Jennifer Berry. Why requeen? What is most important to me is the bees display what is called hygenic behavior. This means they keep the [...]
Tonite we drove to NYC for work tomorrow. Most nights like this, I go buy a burrito from the local tacqueria. The burritos are great, and healthy, as I opt for yogurt in place of sour cream in my black bean burrito.

I got my seed orders this week, and I now know I probably over-ordered. Kinda like going into Costco or BJs and buying the whole case of mayonaise. I buy seeds from Fedco and Johnny’s . The bulk of my seeds come from Fedco, and then from Johnny’s I get some special stuff, like pelleted [...]
Where we live in Northwestern Connecticut, it gets quite cold. Not as cold as I remember as a kid in Wisconsin, but its cold. Temperatures for a week in January were around 6 degrees F. Now that we have our new weather station, provided by AllisonHouse, we will be able to gather historical weather data, [...]
About a year ago, this guy calls me and asks if he can meet me to talk about producing a video show for the web. We met, and he talked about this show he wanted to do about street food, and how he would grow it on the web. OK, I said, Good Luck. Well [...]
