Matter and Anti-matter
Since I’ve already spent well over two hours today struggling with technology this week’s newsletter will be a repeat from July 27, 2009. I must say if tractors were as reliable as computers and cell phones, food would be prohibitively expensive and we’d all be starving to death. Luckily tractors don’t have error messages that […]

I mentioned last week that I was uninspired and didn’t have much to talk about. I blamed it on having too much to think about and not enough time to let my mind wander. I seem to have the same problem this week. So what did I do? I looked for inspiration from a past […]

I don’t feel inspired today. I think there was too much thinking needed this week and not enough time to mind-wander. Makes for an uninspiring newsletter.

A quick update on our scallion/green onion experiment. I realize many of you have been anxiously awaiting the preliminary results and I have been a bit remiss in providing said results. My apologies. I feel this would be a good time to fill you all in. But first a bit of background. We undertook an […]
What’s a cubit?
I’m starting to wonder if we embarked on the wrong spring project this year. I was reminded of this when I awoke this morning to yet another round of heavy rain and thunder. As I was listening to all the commotion outside I leaned over to Susan and said, “Looks like I will be gathering […]
