Abrief interlude
13 hours ago
by suscrofa
Yesterday it got to a whopping 37 F! The sun was out, and one could hear dripping all over the place. I opened the beds with lids, some of which were very heavy, and let the snow and ice slide right off. The plants in the beds were still green, but a darker shade due to the cold.

Winter Gardening in Michigan
1 day ago
by JLevine
I’m going to rebel against common thought and try winter gardening in Michigan. There is very little information available on it. I don’t think the cold climate is the big deterrent.

Water, water, everywhere…
1 day ago
by suscrofa
Getting water to seedlings in the raised beds can be a real challenge in the winter. As I mentioned yesterday, I have added snow to the beds, but only when the temperature is above freezing and the sun is out.

An Ozark tribute to Hanukkah
2 days ago
by ozarkhomesteader
In case you hadn’t guessed, we’re not Jewish. We can still appreciate a variation on Hanukkah food, though, since it’s in season and able to be locally grown (much of which we got from Conway Locally Grown). Tonight we had latkes (potato pancakes) served with yogurt (in lieu of sour cream), braised ...
