Farming is a little like fashion: you always have to be thinking at least one season ahead. (more) It will be time soon enough (in February) to prune our fruit trees.

(more) It’s that time each year when we review our goals for the preceding year and see how we did, and set new goals for the year to come.

We’re as dependent as anyone else on 24/7 electronic media; more, perhaps, because we’re out in the country where getting access to quality printed information is a little like trying to make a decent soup with grocery store tomatoes. (more) We’ve failed. All the efforts to avert catastrophic climate change have been defeated by The Powers That Be, and we humans are in for a period of devastation and turmoil the likes of which our species has never faced.
