Cynthia DuVal commented on Michele Payn-Knoper's blog post 'Are Farmers Brown or Green?'
Nice post Michele. I shared it on Twitter. I especially like this: "...if you were to scrape the dirt off of the farmers from coast to coast, you’ll find the greenest people on Earth. Not because they’re trying to save the world, but because susta...

Brian Grossman commented on Cynthia DuVal's blog post 'Farmer Stereotyping on CSI Miami Last Night'
The worst part about this is that we see the "typical dumb farmer" act so often that it really doesn't even bother many of us anymore until they decide they need to take it to a new level like in CSI Miami. It amazes me how we are the one only ind...

True Nick, at least we have morals and values still! However I really hate the "dumb" farmer in overalls chewing on some straw. Its just so ....wrong!

Garden Clean-up Day in Washington

It's Halloween and it's garden clean up day. I love Saturdays. This is the one day that I save for taking care of my home and garden. I don't actually "work" on Saturdays. We have a light drizzle here in Enumclaw today and its warm. It's nice and I'm just in from cleaning up my garden. Tomato plants and Shasta Daisies are out and composting. Sunflowers are cut for the chickens and I'm making a dent in that pile of junk that I pulled out of the shed when we made the stall for Abby.

A master gard… Continue

Small Tomatillo and Tomato Crop This Year

Well, it was my first year to grow tomatillos. I had three plants develop out of the 60 I was hoping for. Prolonged rains this Spring didn't help and as I've mentioned before, the dirt at my new home needed amending (so I learned.) My Tomatillo plants produced 5 cups of chopped fruit, some of the darn things no bigger than a quarter. They were really good though. Last night I made these jars of salsa and a pot of fresh tomato soup from my tiny (but delicious) tomato crop (same issues.)

All in a… Continue

Farmer Stereotyping on CSI Miami Last Night

Shoot, I was so disgusted last night; I saw that CSI Miami was going to do a farm story. I watched it and wouldn't you know, the script brought out the "those uneducated farmers" stereotype. Damn insensitive and a stupid thing to do. I could believe they did it but I sure was sick to see it. Of course, the rich farmer turned out to be a money hungry criminal (rich but not so smart in the end) and the crop farmer was a swell guy that was duped by the man. There was an attempt to counter the stere… Continue
