For years, I posted daily on this blog about all things country. There are well over 1500 posts. You can use the search bar above to search for very specific topics or go to the pages below for lengthy discussions on the more general topics of Gardening, Canning and Jam-making.
Happy browsing!
For a discussion of garden pests, 12 month gardening [in zone 5], a list of what's in my garden this year, and our basic month-by-month garden plan, go to this page:

I wrote a whole ebook on making jam. Buy the book if you want a handy reference and all my recipes in one easy-to-get-to place. [Seriously, the index in that book is the best thing ever!]
