We have polished off the last of the garden asparagus. I did freeze a couple of containers of blanched asparagus puree with lemon for seasoning. Since I’m always reading recipes I don’t remember where I saw that idea. We’ll see how we like it this winter tossed with pasta or perhaps as a soup seasoning. My new favorite way to serve this tasty spring morsel is roasted. And what better way to enhance the dish than to toss it with roasted potatoes. Add a splash...

Last weekend Anneliese, Judy and I exhibited at the 2011 MREA Energy Fair. I’ve posted about this show in previous years because it is one of our favorites. MREA attracts an audience that is far more in tune with the issues of sustainability than the general population, and many of the attendees are home gardeners. In other words, it’s a friendly audience that will buy our tools. Trade shows where we can sell product can be great for us because we...

We came home late last night from four days on the road after a trade show. It’s the time of the season when we should be picking strawberries twice a day, so we lost a few berries to birds and over ripeness, but we still had a huge amount waiting for us, which I harvested this morning. We’ll be freezing some, turning some into strawberry jam, and enjoying mouthfuls of the rest eaten fresh.

Noel and I decided to seize upon the nice weather we had today and shoot a few short videos in the garden. Here, he’s demonstrating how the CobraHead Long Handle® can be used as a scuffling hoe. Please enjoy! We plan to post more videos as the summer progresses. Please let us know if there’s something you like to see from us!

The 200 plus strawberry plants in the foreground are in a very temporary home. They are banked, trenched, or heeled in; a process of laying plants in a trench and covering the roots with soil. Here they can reside until they can be relocated. A few of these transplants were retrieved from a four old bed that I dug out last week, but most were dug out from runners in the paths on either side of the center bed in the background. 100 of these plants have already...

Asparagus, again? We’re eating asparagus every day now. I’ve been cutting asparagus tips since the end of April. At first it was every other day, now it’s mandatory cutting every day. For brunch last weekend we tried it roasted with baked eggs on top. I’d never baked eggs sunny side up before – pretty tasty. Today, as a little side dish I chopped the asparagus spears into ¼” diagonal slices. I used my western-style Santoku knife which made short work...
