Some people hate talking about the weather. Not gardeners and farmers. For growers, the weather is a constant source of attention.

Honeybees are hardy, and given good conditions, such as a large population and plenty of honey storage, they generally make it through the winter. At least that's how it's supposed to go.

To me, the most compelling argument for the urban agriculture movement is the food itself, the snow peas and pole beans. The food you grow nearby is inevitably the tastiest.

Historically speaking, most Americans have either farmed or gardened, and while maybe it's not as common as it once was, the last several years has seen a renewed interest in productive growing.

The idea behind certifying is to standardize exactly what we mean by "organic" so consumers know what they're getting and how it was grown.

Tomatoes, peas, peppers are all starting to move into high gear.
