I briefly considered writing a “How to Get Started with Chickens” post, but I don’t like writing about something until I’ve actually done it. Once my chickens arrive this May I’ll talk about my personal experiences with it — until then I thought I’d write about some chicken products I’ve encountered while begging for advice [...]   Fer is hosting a garden goals blog carnival at My Little Garden in Japan and oh my gosh, do I ever have a lot to do this year! I’ve included info about the Organic Growers School in March since it always heralds my spring planning. For the last three seasons I’ve jumped from garden to garden, [...] It’s another Real Things Thursday! As my goal with these installments is to think about the way we consume rather than to encourage consumerism, I decided that today I’d focus on getting things for free. We all love freebies, but it is also a great way to minimize our impact on the environment! Photo Credit: Wikipedia (mulch) Recycling [...] I lead a homeschool hiking group that meets in nearby state parks and natural areas at least once a month. We’re working on nature journals this year and I decided to turn the student tutorial I was writing for next Friday’s hike into a blog post. Photo Caption: Bunched Arrowhead Heritage Preserve is one of [...] I’m not a big fan of shopping or owning huge quantities of stuff. When I do put on my modern hunter/gatherer hat, I think of my purchase as a vote. Do I spend my voting dollar on artisan-made or an overseas sweatshop? Am I going to vote for something that will last generations or for built-in-obsolesce? [...] It’s only a few more days until the submission deadline for the next issue of How to Find Great Plants! I’ll bet a lot of you bloggers have a cache of posts that describe the food and ornamental plants you love, so I hope you’ll take a moment and submit one for the carnival! I’m [...] Well, not really. Even if I could find any flowers for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, I think the crisp fragrance of winter would have taken precedence. Sometimes the only “How To” needed is how to relax and take it all in. Here’s what I found “blooming” out in the garden this morning. Photo Caption: My mom [...] Even though it’s getting late in the edible mushroom season, we found a nice little haul of sweet tooth hedgehog mushrooms after the rain last weekend: Photo Caption: "Sweet Tooth" hedgehog mushrooms (Hydnum repandum) that we found in the mountains of South Carolina. Daytime temperatures were reaching the upper 40′s to 50 F when we found [...] I’ve just updated to a new blogroll that tells me how recently you’ve posted on your blog. If you’d like to share reciprocal blogroll links with me, just let me know in the comments! I’d also like to thank Stuart Robinson for creating Blotanical — it helped me find a lot of my favorite blogs. I’ve [...] We took my daughter to the Riverbanks Zoo & Botanical Garden in Columbia, SC last week. By that, I mean we spent 90% of our time at the zoo before running around the Botanical Garden for the last 10% like our pants were on fire. This is what happens to a gardener when the people [...] |
