By Tom Atwell – This has been a strange year for gardening – ahead of schedule and behind at the same time. We planted our first round of peas in late March, earlier than ever before, and they are doing well. There are a few tiny, unfilled pods and lots of blossoms.
By Kathryn Skelton – Poland: Tomi Chipman was sitting in an anthropology class at Bates College in Lewiston, on a premed track, and realized she would rather be out in the field with her dad. By last fall, she had made up her mind. When she graduates, Chipman wants to be a farmer.
