Photos and tales of our glorious Green Mountain State adventures.
Burlington’s weekly Saturday Farmer’s Market starts today! Some of last year’s highlights: I’m serious: if you’re not going to grow it yourself, try and get it direct from the folks pulling it out of the ground. Apparently we have that a little easier here in VT than elsewhere. According to an article I read in […]
Got four more beds built tonight after work; plus the two from the weekend (re: garlic & onions), that makes six total. If we stick to our plans, we’ll build four more beds tomorrow night after work, giving us ten beds for nine crops. Hopefully we’ll be able to start the rest of the planting […]
Nutshell version? Nice dinner with some friends Friday night. Saturday was some chores plus garden surveying (and then an evening out). Sunday was the first round of planting (garlic & onions) and the grill’s 2007 seasonal inauguration. Extended version?

Oh man was that ever fun. “We should do this again some time.” Huge thanks to everyone that came out to show support. Also: HOW AM I AWAKE ALREADY?
UPDATE: I’ve re-posted “The Hibernation Sessions” mix here (YouSentIt link good for 7 days or 100 downloads) to help promote the night. Hope to see you all there. (Well, all you Burlington-area folks, at least…)
Welcome back, Green.
