While waiting for lion to lamb transformation there is a heavy workload during March. How to get it all done??  The anticipation of all the new seedlings is the perfect antidote for end of winter doldrums.  Fixing up our "new" barn and prepping the additional ground will make for very long days.  I'm so grateful that I have the ability to see and do physical work, I don't care how long the day turns!

I am applying for a share of the 2010 Willing Hands Organic Farm harvest.  I understand that I am sharing the agricultural risks associated with growing produce. I understand that Willing Hands Organic Farm agrees to make every effort to secure a successful harvest for me.

 If I cannot pick up my share, it is my responsibility to make other arrangements.  Shares not picked up by 1:30 will be eaten by someone else:)

 I understand my commitment for a 2010 share is $600.00.  A $100.00 deposit is required with my application to hold my share.  The remainder is due IN FULL by March 31st, please.

I had linked this and then decided to un link it after I realized that despite the tons of useful info the tone and language of the site is not consistent with my values.  Why everyone feels compelled to punctuate the English language with the f word is beyond me.  So I am listing the link for the info but be forwarned it may be offensive to you as it is to me.

BEETON'S BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT , is a 1112 page epistle of all things the mistress of a proper English home would need to master.  Apparently this classic has evaded me all these years. I cannot begin to describe all this treasure trove has to offer, on every imaginable subject.  It was originally published in 24 monthly installments by Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine.  Isabella Beeton was only twenty eight when she died, from childbed fever.

There are a few pictures of selected pages on the blog

The UPS driver will be making a few more deliveries the next two weeks, all packages filled with wonderful varieties of herb, vegetable and flower seed.  So exciting!

Place garlic in the container of a food processor, and pulse until finely minced. Add radishes, and mince. Add cream cheese, and mix until well blended. Transfer to a serving dish, and chill until serving.

Cut large radishes in half; leave small ones whole.
In a 12-inch skillet, combine radishes, butter, sugar, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4
teaspoon pepper and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook,
stirring occasionally, until liquid has reduced and radishes are tender and glazed,
10 to 15 minutes. Serve.
