http://seedtoharvest.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-has-sprung.html
Thursday, April 16, 2015. Winter is finally loosing its grip on the landscape. The old timers have been claiming that it was the second coldest and fourth most snow in recorded history. Honestly I have not done the research to verify their claims but I am willing to bet they are not far off in their opinion. It was a bear of a winter. Our neighbors bought us two apple trees to celebrate the birth of our fourth child and we have been preparing for their arrival. We also have two grape vines and about ...

Monday, August 30, 2010. We also chose this particular breed because they produce delicious seed for consumption and are heirloom so as long as everything goes well we should end up with more seed than we know what to do with. Some of my gardening friends may be getting seeds in their stockings for Christmas this year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few of our neighbors have complimented us on our sunflowers this year. I have to admit it is nice to occasionally have your ego stroked. We have been ...

Seed To Harvest: Learn Something New Every Year
http://seedtoharvest.blogspot.com/2015/05/learn-something-new-every-year.html
Friday, May 22, 2015. Learn Something New Every Year. We have been very busy here of late at Whitaker Gardens. Flexibility has been the key and if the truth be told I have had to figure that out the hard way at times. The lilacs were in full bloom early in the month and our trees were heavy with both scent and flowers. The garlic and shallots were making headway and the leeks took to the cold soil with little problem. One of the new apple trees here at Whitaker Gardens. Our doe rabbit had six babies six ...

Monday, June 8, 2015. A Bully In The Hen House. One of the "new girls". Among chickens a pecking order is a natural occurrence. I have to admit that the first time I witnessed a performance among my hens for dominance it was slightly disturbing simply because it entailed far more aggression than I had imagined.

http://seedtoharvest.blogspot.com/2010/07/golden-cherry-tomatoes.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. Your love of gardening will take on new meaning in your life." Fortune Cookie. Last year there was a blight in the area so very few gardeners were able to produce a healthy crop of tomatoes. There is discussion that the blight has shown up in the neighboring county again this summer. At this point we are eating most of our tomatoes raw or mixed in with a meal but we have slowly begun dehydrating some as well to add to soups and stews later in the year. A few of our neighbors have...
