Tenonanatchi Tales
BY:History BoysGreetings from the Beekman 1802 history bloggers Chris and Carl. Since we’re calling our blog “Tenonanatchi Tales,” we thought we’d start with something about a Native American. We might call her a local celebrity since, although she dates back to the 17th century, she recently made the news! The Iroquoian name Tenonanatchi means “river [...]

Preparing the Spring Garden, Part 5: Mulching & Pest Control
BY:Kerry MendezA week closer to spring and I catch myself going out of my way to “casually” drive by my favorite nurseries checking to see for the first signs of emerging inventory. I know those faithful pansies will be smiling back at me soon….. Mulch gardens to reduce weeding. This also helps to conserve moisture, supply [...]

Preparing the Spring Garden, Part 4: Pruning & Soil pH
BY:Kerry MendezIs it safe yet? Can I really start inching my way to the garden shed in anticipation of spring? A few inches of snow on the ground won’t stop me. A foot? Nahhhhhh. Spring fever has a way of distorting reality. If like many gardeners, you are scared about what might have happened to [...]

Preparing the Spring Garden, Part 3: Dividing & Edging
BY:Kerry MendezI’m getting less relief from spring fever by staring at my terrarium and silk flower arrangements. I’ve thought about setting up my lawn chair inside Faddegon’s Nursery’s (www.faddegons.com) lush greenhouse filled with orchids, tropicals and houseplants but I’m afraid I’d be asked to leave, especially after unwrapping my open-faced Limberger, liverwurst and onion sandwich.

Preparing the Spring Garden, Part 2: Grasses & Roses
BY:Kerry MendezAt this point, I am just itchin’ to get my hands in the dirt – excuse me, I mean soil (dirt is a no-no word in a gardener’s vocabulary). Are the pages of your garden magazines and catalogs becoming worn and tattered as they wear out their effectiveness for substituting for the real thing? [...]

Winter Reading for the Gardener
BY:Zone 9 Deputy Gardener Laurie GoreThis is the time of year when so many gardeners are starting to button things up for the winter months. Not so much in the Southwest. I’m pulling out the last of the summer vegetables and prepping for a small winter crop. We are keeping in the Hubbard squash vines as long as we can [...]

Christmas Pudding
BY:Roger SwayzeThe Christmas Pudding that Fizzled I have always enjoyed the stories written by Charles Dickens. Over the years he has inspired me to love anything that is “Olde English” especially things that pertain to the holidays. A few years ago I spotted a tinned pudding mold while I was pre-holiday shopping at a Williams-Sonoma [...]

Eat This, Not that?
BY:Justin MendozaWhen I think of the Victorian era, two images immediately come to mind. Both are derived from literature and film, the first being the lavish high society depicted in Edith Wharton’s novels like ‘The Age of Innocence’. The other is from Dickens’ ‘Oliver Twist’, the orphan who pleads “can I have some more, please?” This [...]

Self-diagnosed
BY:Josh and BrentHow to tell if you’re infected. Certain people, myself included, are afflicted by a condition that’s difficult to describe. It’s not recognized by physicians or psychoanalysts (yet), but it’s really only a matter of time before it’s a household diagnosis. It’s a sharp, targeted depression, a sudden overcast feeling that hits you while you’re at [...]

She’s written oodles of bestsellers, and is one of our favorite “Beach Read” writers (Even though our beach is a pond.)
