			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The peas are coming in, and the mustard greens are flowering and covered with honeybees, and the beans are coming up, and the 100+ tomatoes have been potted up and are just waiting for ground to go into, and yet I haven&#8217;t been taking pictures. I took pictures of peas last year! This year&#8217;s pictures would be basically identical. Maybe I should take them anyway. I guess if we stopped talking about things that reoccur seasonally, we would run out of things to talk about very quickly. I love the cyclical nature of the farm, but it sure does make me a boring conversation partner. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear person who found us by searching for <i>&#8220;double digging&#8221; overrated</i>, </p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t. It is only unfeasible if your plot is too big to double-dig in one day or one weekend. In that case, evaluate whether you can have some friends and their shovels over to help, or just double-dig the planting areas and skip the paths. Double-digging is good. </p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for <i>broccoli plant</i>; <i>broccoli plants</i>; <i>broccoli farm</i>; <i>broccoli plant sprouts</i>; etc., </p>
<p>What is it that you are looking for? We get a lot of you! Did I take a particularly nice broccoli picture or something? </p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for <i>zucchini blossom end rot photos</i> or similar, </p>
<p>Zucchini blossom end rot is a bummer. Try adding dolomite lime to your soil. But <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2008/08/someone-might-put-zucchini-in-our-house/">as you can see</a>, you probably can still get enough zucchini to meet your needs.</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for variations on <i>Monsanto owns Territorial Seed</i>, </p>
<p>I assume you <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2009/01/the-relationship-between-monsanto-and-territorial-seed-not-as-bad-as-you-think/">found what you are looking for</a>, but rest assured it isn&#8217;t true. </p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for <i>halibut with broccoli and brown rice</i>, </p>
<p>Yum! </p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for <i>pullet bald butts</i>, <i>bald polish chicken</i> (poor critter!), <i>bald chicken butts</i>, etc., </p>
<p>We never did figure out why all their butt fluff was gone, but <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2009/04/farewell-to-mr-guy/">we got rid of our drake (male duck)</a>, and they seem to be regrowing &#8212; at least, they aren&#8217;t getting worse. Do you have any dudes around who might be unkind to your ladies? </p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Dear people who found us by searching for <i>no farms no food</i>, </p>
<p>Right on. You can get a bumper sticker like ours <a href="http://action.farmland.org/site/PageNavigator/No-Farms-No-Food/Request_bumpersticker"> from the American Farmland Trust</a>.</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Extra bonus question: </p>
<p>Dear people who read <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2009/04/gratuitous-ducklings/">the duckling post</a> in Dutch via Google Translator, </p>
<p>Who are you?? How did you find us?? Do I know you? </p>
<p>Love, Lauren &#038; Garth</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just installed a bunch of new things for the blog. </p>
<p>You can now <a href="http://www.dropstonefarms.com/subscribe/">subscribe to get email updates</a> whenever we post. </p>
<p>If you comment you can also subscribe to get emailed whenever there are subsequent comments to that post &#8212; there&#8217;s a checkbox under the comment form. I wanted this one because we often come back and reply to comments a few days later. </p>
<p>On a similar note, in the sidebar on the right, you can now see the 10 most recent comments! This is mostly for me so I don&#8217;t have to click around and try to find which one I wanted to reply to. </p>
