Hi, I'm Mrs. Frisbie. I love that name. It makes me feel like I should be baking cookies or canning soup, or maybe relaying my tale of adventures with the rats of Nimh. I'm a wife and mom who would rather be home with my family than anywhere else. But, life is busy with work,... Continue Reading →
Did anyone else feel like THIS last weekend? Yeah... us, too! We spent all of Saturday playing outside. We finally got into the garden, too. Tootsie and Pookah raked leaves, Silverback mulched them and helped move our composter, and I dug, pulled, cut, and shovelled 'til I couldn't move my aching bones. It was awesome!!!...

"Look between your ears!" A quote from the television show Cheers that tickled my whole family the night we watched it together. I can still make my brother laugh if I lob the declaration at him. But it is true. I have a quote on my Pinterest page that says "The mountains are calling and... Continue Reading →
If you were betting on Kohlrabi to be the first to germinate (admit it, some of you will bet on anything), you won! This morning, I saw several tiny green specks emerging from the soil. It's important to note how TINY they are, because this is the point which the sprouts need air and light.... Continue Reading →
We were planning to start our seeds the other day and I was about to go dumpster diving for containers when I got "Monday-ed." By that I mean that somehow dinner got ruined (don't buy discount tortellini, okay?) and we had to order delivery. (Note to self: be more prepared for last-minute menu changes) As a...

Last year, life was a little crazy. We spent more time at the farmer's market then in our own garden. We managed to produce a few tomatoes and green beans, and put up some jam, but mostly we picked from the local crops and daydreamed about the future. How great is it that we get a...

I've been told that people see dirty pictures of me on the internet all the time. No, not the X-rated kind. I mean literally... covered in dirt. It's just something I do. Don't judge, okay? But not all dirt is the same. You should know what you are growing your food in, both for the... Continue Reading →
We've been grateful for the opportunities to play outside so often this year. Winter was incredibly mild and now our planting season is beginning. It seems we've skipped the cabin fever phase altogether. We can only hope the karma truck isn't parked outside, ready to dump a big POOF of snow on us. Today was... Continue Reading →
Is there something deep in your soul that longs for simpler times? Do you imagine yourself in the Country Time commercial, swinging from a tire swing over a lake in the hazy heat of summer? Forget the powdery mix, we have found the authentic taste of summer. Pookah and I mixed up this delicious old-fashioned... Continue Reading →
Last Spring, while we were expecting Tootsie to come along in the middle of June, I didn't know how much energy or time I would have to maintain a garden. I wondered: even if I got it started, how would I keep it weeded? I envisioned a mass of wild grasses choking out my vegetable... Continue Reading →
