"Space Basil"
You my have tried lemon basil, normal basil or even cinnamon basil but have you tried space basil? Here at Sisters Hill Farm we have basil which orbited the planet. Wanna see how zero G's tastes? Come visit!

The Sister who is most involved in the farm taught environmental science. One of her students went on to the space program and sent her these special seeds.

This should take you to the latest Sisters Hill Farm news letter.

"Treasure at the fork in the road"

Finally a week with so much free time I don't know what to do with myself. So I posted some pictures to flickr. I might even watch a movie tonight...



Click the picture it will take you to my updated flickr account. A bundle of new sets!

Images of what is to come soon. Will they stay free of the late blight?


Friday is harvest day. Cucumbers, yellow squash and Zucchini, colorful lettuce, green beans, cabbage, peppers, eggplant, onions, garlic and the other ingredients I forgot. Free! but not free enough to make it to the Grey Fox bluegrass festival... Win some, lose some.

Rye oh rye, are you so hard to till in? Rye survives the winter months and hold unused soil in place while providing soil fertility/organic matter. But boy is it a pain to work into the soil before planting crops. This Rye pictured has gone to seed and is well past its prime days as a cover crop.

In other news I wrote an article for the Sisters Hill Farm newsletter. Past articles can be viewed at:

I'll post this weeks newsletter after it gets put together.

Stop and smell the beneficials. To much living and to little blogging. I've decided to make a change. Now that wedding season is over and wedding pictures I've cleaned up my beard. Knocked it back to the dark ages with the old #1 trimmer. Took some pictures... for the first time in 2 months. This one is some flowers we let grow to provide habitat to insects. With any luck the beneficial kinds. Another added bonus is that during the drought period last week these plants helped keep hungry bugs away from our juicy irrigated crops by giving them something else to feed on. In theory.
