If I were a better gardener, I would go out in the early spring and plant one row of radishes every week for a month. Then I could harvest them just a slowly, enjoying just a few at a time until midsummer. Instead, on whatever day ends up being the...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/3Z0rKGTvdLI" height="1" width="1"/>

Does anyone else have this problem? I buy big packages of yarn needles. I stash them in my purse and with my knitting stuff and with my sewing stuff and in my jars of craft supplies. But when it comes time to weave in ends, I never have a yarn...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/lXxfZg5x9KQ" height="1" width="1"/>

Morels are typically a once a year treat for us, but this past weekend we lucked into some two nights in a row. (Both times cooked in a little butter and served up with roasted asparagus and a poached egg.) On the third night, we knew we'd been spoiled when,...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/gJ17zc0whGo" height="1" width="1"/>

I will not romanticize this--planting a garden with the help of a toddler and 3 or 4 very insistent chickens tapped into every ounce of patience I possess. While his intentions are darling, the Kid can wreak some serious havoc. He wanted to help plant beans by throwing the seeds...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/8wR_HJFQJPc" height="1" width="1"/>

For this Mother's Day, I requested tomato plants and a trail run. The tomatoes were procured and planted in due course--more about that tomorrow--but getting a trail run in seemed dicier. Even our super-trooper jogging stroller doesn't work off-road, so for both Sweet Husband and I to go trail running...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mybitofearth/Nffc/~4/f-IOOn5I3bc" height="1" width="1"/>
