The trials of farming


Being a farmer has its disadvantages...

In other news, there have been requests (I kid you not) for an "Ask the Farmer" series of posts. Being the community farmer that I am, I'm happy to oblige. If you have questions for the farmer, leave them in the comments, and I'll give them my best shot.

Don't know how to leave a comment? There's no shame, family of mine! :)
1.) Click on the place at the bottom of the post you'd like to comment on that says "0 comments" or however many comments there are.
2.) Write your comment in the box on the right that says "leave your comment."
3.) Under "Choose an identity" select Anonymous by clicking on the circle to the left.
4.) Click "Publish your comment." And you're done! Every once in a while, it will ask you to type in some weird letters just to make sure you're not a robot, and you can just type those into the box.


Farm Vitals

Warnings: Don't let your piggies freeze.
Mood of the farm: shivering
Concern of the farmer: cherry tomato plant, not at all happy

As a non-commercial farmer, I'm sure you're roiled by the recent farm bill. (http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/15/news/economy/congress_food.ap/index.htm?section=money_latest)
Can you comment on how the bill affects day-to-day operations?

What kinds of tools and products have you been using on your garden? Would you ever agree to product placement advertising? Also, I'm planting some green plants in my window box this summer. Can you recommend a product that will keep them alive since I have no green fingers of any kind?
