I’m sorry, I said that I would do a better job of keeping up and I have failed you. 8-8-08! I can’t believe that that was the last time I wrote something. So here we go. Paul went through all of my beds that I had just scatter-seeded basil and separated the plants and replanted [...]

The weather here today was so NICE! It rained yesterday, my brain instantly thought it was going to be so humid that you couldn’t breathe today, but it wasn’t. It made me reminiscent of Arcata. Nice and cool and breezy. Ok, I guess Arcata on a hot day, like 70 degrees. It was nice. I’m [...]
Another day another harvest

I bet we picked about thirty pounds of tomatoes today! Great, that will make us about 4 quarts of canned tomatoes. Not really, maybe 5. Other exciting news, it rained an inch and a half today, cooling the temperature by 10 degrees and watering our garden so we didn’t have to. It hasn’t rained in [...]

I feel like I need to apologize for my tardiness on these blogs. For you, I’ll try hard to at least write one once a week, in the very least. Thanks for tuning in, lets get those viewing numbers up. Help make the month of August all that it can be.

It was steamy hot mania today in our kitchen. For today Paul and I canned some tomatoes, tomato juice and I made blueberry jam to round out the morning. Pictures to follow on another day. I took them and they are resting conveniently on my camera. The pictures are nice. All of those jars of [...]

Grow basil! For real. Basil is the cash crops of cash crops. I think next year we’re just going to grow rows of lettuce, basil and whatever else we want for our own consumption. It seems like this year we planted a lot of things with the intention to sell them. That’s fine, because we [...]

Here’s something. I made a pizza the other day and I used our tomatoes for the sauce, with basil, bell peppers, onions, garlic, rosemary and oregano from our garden. It was awesome. I have this really “easy” pizza crust recipe that I’ve used for the last year now. Every time I’ve made it, it’s come [...]
While we’re talking about tomatoes…

Don’t farm if you’re looking to make some money. Do it to fulfill some sort of civic duty like Paul and I…I jest. Sometimes I feel like we’re getting jerked off over prices of veggies. We’re not though, we are just competing with the super awesome, sunshine all year, factory farming paradise known as California. [...]
I give alms to the professional bloggers

It is so hard to sit here and write posts every couple of weeks let alone ten to twenty posts a day as some do. So there you go professionals, sitting in the Starbuck’s sipping your caramel macchiato, typing away. It takes a lot and you have what it takes. That being said, I would [...]
