BLOG: Preparing a home
Fall is a great time to enjoy making garden projects that are on your wish list. Both functional and whimsical projects have their place, and making them can be fun family activities. It’s difficult for me to complete these type of projects during the spring and summer months because I am so busy harvesting, drying and storing herbs or preserving all of the food that’s coming out of our gardens.

BLOG: Don’t forget the valley
In Exodus 34, Moses goes up the mountain. That does not seem like that big of a deal, unless you think about what came before. He had already gone up once and received the Ten Commandments.

However, in the world of edible gardening, they are often disregarded because many people just don’t think about...

Greetings! My apologies for not offering a DHD last week. Last Friday, I had oral surgery in the morning. I thought I would have been able to offer my usual commentary on six timely topics that afternoon, but I just wasn’t able to function mentally like I thought I could. I guess the pain meds had a factor. But I’m back this week, ready to start Labor Day weekend! Let’s get to it! Another Zylstra masterpiece Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra...
