The time has come, for us, to assess the waning vegetable garden and start putting it to bed. We should decide to pull all the failing (and flailing) tomato plants give up the last of the cherry tomatoes, the hot peppers (the plants look great but are no longer blooming), the bed of eggplants (whichContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings (mostly) on the Homestead”

Tuesday 2-Do List
Decide if the apples are lovely enough to press this weekend, despite the plethora of baby apples the growth has not been great due to pests, continual rain, and poor pollination. I think we are canceling the apple-pressing gathering, which means we will be open Sunday, September 17th at the shop. I’m a little sadContinue reading “Tuesday 2-Do List”
Tuesday is Happening!: Rock Bottom
We started out as Rock Bottom Homestead (Rock Bottom Farm was not here then, though they seem lovely and do pigs, etc., and we’ve backed away from using our homestead name for business because they are doing well with it…) and were excited to recuperate an old mostly-volunteer orchard. Our property told us it wantedContinue reading “Tuesday is Happening!: Rock Bottom”
Special Edition: Happenings and what not…
Our week has been a little topsy-turvy and it’s been hard to get the blog submissions on the ‘proper days’, but I don’t want to deprive you of all the news. We had a big corporate order of bagels which went swimmingly and today we have a few extra ‘surprise’ bagels, mmmmm, sourdough bagels. IContinue reading “Special Edition: Happenings and what not…”
Tuesday Happenings: Catching up
I am sad to say that there are still flower seedlings waiting to get into the garden. Those poor little potbound babies, looking longingly at the ground. If it’s not raining this Wednesday (our only day closed) I will do my best and get them into flower boxes. Meanwhile, the garden is looking scraggly butContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Catching up”
Tuesday Happenings: Crazy Bzzzy!
All of a sudden, all the things are happening. This Summer Solstice is bringing with it a real start to a season! This Friday, June 23rd, we are lucky lucky lucky to have a lovely poetry reading with poets: Audrey Gidman (her first, thoughtfully bound collection from Slate Roof Press, Northfield, MA is gorgeous), megContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Crazy Bzzzy!”
Spring Tuesday ‘Round Here
Scene One: The Eastern Phoebe family on the back of the garage is growing nicely – a little pile of chicks stacked up waiting for their flycatching parent to bring them bits. Simultaneously the Dragonflies have hatched and they work hard like aerial acrobats saving us from being devoured by mosquitos (ok, I just likeContinue reading “Spring Tuesday ‘Round Here”
Tuesday Happenings: Living the Life
Some mornings the landscapers at the neighbors get us up early (and I thought our lovely neighbors liked us! ha!), and there are many spiders in the bathroom, and I find a tick attached to both me and the dog (not the same tick, at the same time, mind you), and the breads don’t comeContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Living the Life”
Tuesday Happenings & Events
Rainy Rain Rain. We need it though, not enough snow this Winter. The apple trees will be in drought again this year, poor little things. They’ve suffered so the last fews years with less and less water and more and more predators, some saplings are dwindling and others are pushing through – it’s definitely aContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings & Events”
Tuesday Energies: Being in the World
It’s been hard to keep up with our events lately as we’ve been busy busy busy like waking Spring bees – wake up little bees, the southfacing daffodils are ready for you! Our sleepy north hill still has a blanket of snow by the compost and the blackberries. Just a few crocus and daffodils areContinue reading “Tuesday Energies: Being in the World”
