Sweet Potatoes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s newsletter is shorter, because I’ve got a date with a close friend to visit two heritage sites in our area. Today we can visit many that are otherwise closed to the public, so we’re going to use the opportunity.Aside from planting countless lettuce plants and giving many away to friends, I’ve had a good week in the garden. The living paths, which haven’t been mowed since June, did their duty over summer - cooling as best they could and protecting the soil. They had become a bit too b
Delight in the September Garden (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, my to-do list was short and sweet: Prepare the beds in the second tunnel and “sow until my heart’s content.” I did manage to prepare the beds, which involved removing the tomatoes, the gigantic perpetual spinach (chard) plants full of ripe seed, and the countless dandelions that had been acting as a living mulch around the peppers and eggplant all summer. (Many dandelions remained, so no worries. There are plenty to feed the earthworms and enough to pick for salad mixes.)Welcome to ne

(Warning arachnophobes: A picture of a spider is coming!)Autumn is definitely on its way. For the second time in two weeks, I had to get the duster out to remove spider webs from around the house.

It is also much longer than usual, so if you’re reading this in email, click on the title to see everything. And before I forget, a special welcome to new subscribers! I suspect many of you are here because of my recent notes on Substack related to climate adaptation. Thank you for your interest!Thoughts on “community”Fellow Substacker wrot
Linen Treasures and a Brief Garden Update (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s newsletter is late and short, because I was at a fleamarket this morning in search of a Hungarian man who sells old linen. I was successful! Like Here’s the backstory, which I ought not tell, in case some folks on my gift list are reading, but they’ll just have to forget. In July, I visited a local open-air historical museum. Some of you might remember my mentioning how wonderfully cool the adobe-like structures were. Thick walls made with the plentiful clay in our region and straw m
