Adios, 2021! Hello, 2022? – Reality Check
More than a few people have shared with me that 2021 felt like another 2020. For myself, I can say it was a blur. I spent the bulk of the year reviewing edits on my novel, promoting that new fruit gardening book I wrote,
Handmade gifts from the Holiday Store
Black Friday The Gardenerd Way – Shop Local
We LOVE it when folks shop local on Black Friday and beyond. Shopping at small business keeps money in the local economy (not to mention you won't be feeding corporate bozos).
The golden crispy bits on the top are the best!

It's a beautiful sight, but a few things occurred to me as I…
