Autumn is here! And, once again, way too soon. I just started thinking about the big job of clean-up and already I feel as if I am behind the eight ball. You would think, after twenty years, I wouldn’t be caught short. But, I always am. I always start out with a […]

Intrepid Urban Farmer: Extreme Sport for Nerds

Intrepid Urban Farmer: Seasonal Thrills
The cooler temperatures and earlier sunsets are leading my thoughts to inside. That’s the way of autumn. After five months of beautiful outdoor weather with engaging and gratifying garden projects, I am contemplating how to transition this pleasure to the interior sphere. It is the natural cycle of my life. I am a […]

Intrepid Urban Farmer: Decadence in the Garden
It’s been a long, successful gardening season. Each year presents a different set of conditions to deal with. And this year, as always, each positive development has its own back hand. Rain, for example, has been just wonderful this year. I have barely had to water beyond what has been provided by nature. This […]

Intrepid Urban Farmer: No Tomato Left Behind

Intrepid Urban Farmer: Full of Beans
For me, fresh green beans are one of the most wonderful, sentimental vegetables of the summer garden. My grandfather (the epic old-school gardener), had an entire fifty foot row of willow sapling teepees loaded with pole beans. I can still see that sight in my mind today. It is one of my more vivid memories […]
