In The Beginning... Potatoes

We decided to plant potatoes here because this is the first crop on this land in decades.  Potatoes loosen the ground for future crops.  We love potatoes!

Drumroe Strawberries 2010

Sow in fresh tilled mound
Their crown, just above ground
Resist the miser
Add some fertilizer
Water time to time
Bark mulch or straw as prime
Even net o'er head
Ripe and red, cook spread
Really sweet on my bread
You should grow some!
by Patricia Halliday


These strawberries are three years old. We had so much fruit. We ate, baked, froze, cooked... I made a video.
