		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing so West Virginian as ramps and beans. Especially with cornbread. And especially when all the ingredients come from your own land, or just down the road. Ramps (Allium tricoccum) are the national food of West Virginia. The proper term for a serving of ramps is a &#8220;mess.&#8221; (As in this sentence, from my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My cousin Nina is a marmalade queen. All winter, it seemed, she had a pot of marmalade bubbling on the back of her stove. She inspired me and the boy to make several big batches of the lovely stuff before we left the land of local citrus. We did four kinds: ponderosa lemon, bitter seville [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The blogger disappears and pops up in &#8230; San Francisco! I&#8217;m in the Bay Area visiting family and friends. I&#8217;ve been busy trying to convince my ninety-three year-old grandfather to talk to me on tape. But in between cajoling sessions, I&#8217;ve had a chance to check out some local farmers&#8217; markets. (How could I resist?) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a lovely hickory harvest here this fall. We got almost a bushel. That&#8217;s very unusual in my experience &#8212; the squirrels usually get to them first. I used to race the squirrels for them when I was little. Sometimes the little buggers would throw the nuts at me, and wouldn&#8217;t you know &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All in all, I think we ended up with twelve bean varieties, though some didn&#8217;t do so well in the face of marauding deer. We only grew a bit of each variety, just to see what works best in our garden&#8217;s mesoclimate (that&#8217;s the boy&#8217;s new favorite word, there). The varieties: bottom row, left to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A pip is a seed, and a pippin is an apple tree grown from a seed. What&#8217;s so special about an apple tree grown from a seed? Well, for one thing, every time an apple seed sprouts and grows a tree, it makes a new apple variety that&#8217;s never existed before.* Really. All those Granny [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like salsa. I like salsa a lot. Every year I get impatient, waiting for my tomatoes and peppers to be ripe. We had our first few ripe hot peppers this week, though our tomatoes are still way green. And I thought, why not green tomato salsa? Turns out it&#8217;s tasty! Just chop a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the boy and I got home last night after a long day of combing the countryside for ruined farmhouses, we weren&#8217;t too hungry. We&#8217;d had a late lunch, and we were a bit tired for real cooking. But skipping supper wasn&#8217;t an option. We needed to sit around the table and drink wine, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a good egg. A tasty egg. A nutritious egg. See how the yolk is practically orange? That&#8217;s because the chicken pecked all around in grass and weeds, eating bugs and plants and whatever it could scratch on 8 acres of pasture down the road at the Greenville Garden. There&#8217;s just no comparing this [...]]]></description>

Now, this is not something I would have planted myself &#8212; bamboo is overwhelmingly invasive and pretty much impossible to control &#8212; but since it&#8217;s established here, we&#8217;re doing our [...]]]></description>
