Aren't you desperately curious to know what I did with those cherries I picked from my cherry tree with my homemade cherry picker?Well let me show you...

I have not known watermelon until this moment. I obsessed over the watermelons in my garden at Tulipwood this summer. "How do I know if they're really, truly ready?" I proclaimed across the woods, and then on twitter, and facebook, and to random family members who gave me funny looks. Twitter produced the most answers,…

The roses are in season. That sounds funny to say the roses are "in season" but I suppose everything is in season at one point or another, everyone and everything has a season, some longer than others. We have a rose arbor at Tulipwood, my great grandfather built it after he bought Tulipwood from the…

The elderflowers are blooming. This is good on many levels. For one, flowers are just a prelude to berries. And berries are just a prelude to jelly.

I could show you this fully finished step-by-step recipe a few months from now, [scroll down, I've added the finished steps!] but what good would that be if you had to wait many months for dandelions to come back around?

Two days ago, I called my grandmother to ask her about her meatloaf. She has this way of making it that I've never been able to duplicate.But she didn't answer. She usually answers, or if she can't get to the phone fast enough, she always calls back.But she didn't call back this time. Maybe she…

I'm in New York this week, which was perhaps serendipitous since it's May Day, and with it, came a lesson in sweet woodruff from Grandma Pellegrini.Sweet woodruff, is also known as Master of the Woods.
