Anderson orchard
September 04, 2008
Today my daughter and I found something even better than a farmers market. A fried had recommended Anderson Orchard for the raspberries about a week ago. I called today and found out that pickings were pretty good so we headed down south to pick us some raspberries. Not only did we find raspberries, we were able to pick our own apples and purchase Indiana watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, sweet Read more...

How to cultivate the tiniest green thumb.
May 19, 2008
Black. Yes. That is the color of my thumb, black. My daughter has brought home little pots from preschool filled with dirt and seeds and not a single one of them has grown.
