Winter may be coming, but it is shy this year, stepping out and then retreating. The winter garden can be a challenge for gardeners, but today I… Full Story »

For most veggie growers, light is a big preoccupation. Do you have enough in that hidden corner of the yard that has been given the utilitrian task of raising edibles? Is it the right kind?

Ray's father joined his mother and their brood of thirteen children on Hawley summer weekends to see the latest developments. The family grew a vegetable garden, had an orchard and a blueberry patch. They even rented a cow for the… Full Story »
