2 Acres in the Country: February 2009

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 23, 2009. Snap Pea Challenge Update. Ne week into the snap pea challenge. And we already have results! Joe periodically teases me about my aversion to curtains. We live in the middle of a two-acre plot, so privacy - one of the very few reasons to cover a view of the outside, in my opinion - is not an issue. Who knows - maybe this will turn out to be a happy compromise! 3 people have weighed in. Saturday, February 14, 2009. Countdown to the gardening pre-season. 2 people have weighed in.

2 Acres in the Country: Out-of-the-box Mousing

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009/08/out-of-box-mousing.html

Wednesday, August 05, 2009. Ast week, Mehitabel herded a mouse up and out the front door of our house as Joe and I were walking in. Tonight, she somehow cornered a mouse in between two window panes in our bedroom (thank goodness for tilt-to-clean windows and pop-out screens). I suppose I can't argue with her results, but she must be the strangest. Of mice, best I can tell. But this is the first time I've ever met a cat who was both so enthusiastic and so. innovative? 0 people have weighed in:. Necromancy...

2 Acres in the Country: Grapes, part II

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009/08/grapes-part-ii.html

Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Grapes, part II. His was a delightful surprise yesterday. It looks like we'll be harvesting grapes - Concords, from the look and taste - this year. We have lived in this house for over eight years, and never once have we seen ripe grapes on these vines. We'll need to move fast so we can get them picked before the birds make a feast of them (as I suspect has happened in past years). 2 people have weighed in:. Have you considered branching out from the beer-making into wine-making?

As for the scary hill, we warn that it's coming you each time, take it slow, and at the end you are all smiles, proud of yourself for doing it. "Not scared anymore! You announce. It's kind of amazing. Or are you inventing possible future scenarios in your head? Do you really remember being a tiny baby? Sailor ...

2 Acres in the Country: March 2009

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 07, 2009. Don't they look happy? The fishing line is just barely visible here - it actually looks a little like an electrical line off in the distance or something. Since I took this photo, I've had to add some extra support in the form of chopsticks poked into the ground next to the peas. That first step is a doozy, as they say, and the vines needed a little help reaching the bottom of the trellis. So - is anyone else feeling the garden itch especially strong today? 2 Acres in the Country.

2 Acres in the Country: When fall comes to the midwest

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009/10/when-fall-comes-to-midwest.html

Thursday, October 01, 2009. When fall comes to the midwest. Appy October, all. We woke this morning to the first frost of fall, and for the first time ever I didn't lose any plants. Just a few leaves off a basil. A brief return to graduate work is taking me away from my home (and nearly everything else), but at least I get to enjoy gorgeous crisp fall mornings like this. 4 people have weighed in:. Looks absolutely perfect. Enjoy the fruits of your labors. How is it possible youve never been here? Morning...

2 Acres in the Country: Putting up

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009/09/putting-up.html

Wednesday, September 02, 2009. He last few days have been spent preserving, as Rachel over at Hounds in the Kitchen puts it, " working in quarts and pints. Seven pints of tomato sauce are done, and tomatillo salsa is next on the list. The next good-sized batch of tomatoes we get will either be diced or quartered, depending on how big a pain it is to chop them once the skins are removed. 2 people have weighed in:.

2 Acres in the Country: A Squash Named Audrey II

http://2acres.blogspot.com/2009/08/squash-named-audrey-ii.html

Tuesday, August 04, 2009. A Squash Named Audrey II. E tried to convince the Munchkin to stand behind it, so you could get a true sense of scale, but the vines were a little prickly. It comes up roughly to his waist, and spreads eight feet wide in one direction, between five and six feet in the other. Not bad for his first foray into seed-starting.
