Barbara Pleasant:  Blog Central

I began writing a blog in 2006, before there was a proper word for it. I'm still not sure that what I do here should be called a blog. I think of it as a sharing space for useful information I'm learning --or have already learned -- about the art of growing your own food. And drink! And flowers! Right now I'm bottling last year's apple wine, making tomato sauce, and drying lots of wonderful Asian pears.


Here I have collected some of my favorites from past years, with new pages added regularly. Thanks for stopping by!
