It’s Saturday and Saturday makes me think of the farmer’s market. As much as I want and plan to visit the market every Saturday morning, it just doesn’t always happen. Thankfully, there are many markets around the city and they aren’t all only open on…
I’m doing more and more trellising in my back (and front) yard garden beds to conserve space (for more tomato plants, of course). I use a variety of material for trellises: bed frames (my favorite for peas and beans), these simple trellises, upside down tomato…

I found the original pattern that inspired these bibs in Mason-Dixon Knitting. If you’re a knitter and have not checked out these books, you really should. The patterns and color choices are always fun—a twist on traditional. I have several bookmarks in my copies and…
Farm Chicks was great, yet again! I actually ended up going twice—on Saturday and Sunday, and though I don’t like that you have to buy entrance both days, I am glad I went both days. I tend to be someone who needs to think over…
