		<title>A Most Delicious Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend while tucked away in the mountains for a quick getaway with friends, I had one of the better salads I&#8217;ve ever eaten.  Maybe this is because it was one of the most beautiful salads I&#8217;ve ever seen or maybe it was because the ingredients were mostly home grown.  Below is a photo, with [...]]]></description>

(For those that haven&#8217;t read this children&#8217;s classic, Miss Rumphius spreads beauty around the world by planting lupines).  After reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kohlrabi Makes Surprise Habitat for Quail Nest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was trimming back the raised bed of brassicas at the Bounty plot three days ago, I discovered a nest of speckled eggs under a kohlrabi plant.  Amy, the farm manager, thought it was probably a quail&#8217;s nest and that was confirmed the next morning when I went to check on the nest.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fending off Solicitors (and saving humanity) with Bees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our flowering lamb&#8217;s ear got a bit unruly this summer, as it always does, and unless you are real appreciator or bees, you probably would not choose not to venture up the pathway towards our front door.  I&#8217;m fairly certain that anyone selling me things I don&#8217;t need would opt out of this risk, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wattles for Garden Borders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an edible garden installation in late June at the Sonoma Marin Fair where I decided to experiment with a new type of border called a &#8220;wattle.&#8221;  It&#8217;s a long snake-like border made of straw bundled in plastic netting, and it was featured in Sunset Magazine a few months ago as a nice option [...]]]></description>
