I live in the northeast and in my area, May 15th is the magical last date of potential frost. On May 15th, local gardeners venture outside to plant their tender gardens and flowers. I wrote a few weeks ago about how I was converting my 4 X 12 foot box garden where I planted randomly […]

In one of my more brilliant moments – ahem – I decided several years ago to plant some mint in my tiny little box garden. When I was a child, my nanny would make iced tea from the wild mint that grew in the fields on my grandparents’ farm and I wanted to make some […]

If you haven’t noticed by now, sun-dried tomatoes are a staple in my kitchen.
