We got a little package in the mail the other day from our friend Andi. Inside, there was a really, really sweet note, and also a miniature garden gnome. She said that the gnome made her think of us. I love it when someone buys a gift just because it made them think of you. [...]

I post this brilliant mspaint artwork of mine in honor of the fact that our worms arrived today in a cardboard box.

I hate having to throw vegetables away, like these poor parsnips, just because we don’t have anywhere to compost them.

I was gardening the other day, getting ready for winter. In the front garden there was a big sunflower plant that was already growing there when we moved in. It had lots of happy flowers all summer, but the leaves had been looking kinda yellow and moldy for a while, since it started getting colder, [...]
