This year seems to be a year for storms–from January snow storms that take down huge swaths of pine trees to summer thunderstorms which also take down trees. On the fourth of July there was a violent rainstorm that took out the power in our area for four hours. We weren’t at home then, but […]

Weeding: 90% of Gardening
July 17th, 2003 by Talitha Purdy · 1 Comment
Last Saturday, I was pleasantly surprised to find Teman up in the garden, weeding. Volunteer help is always appreciated (though I don’t know how big the hints are allowed to get before you can’t call it “volunteer” work anymore.

I finally got a chance to weed my greens bed (lettuce, spinach, herbs, etc.), which needed it desperately.
