This is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan. It is also an opportunity for its writer to vent about much that ails her.

Waste not!
Here is one way of making sure your grape harvest won't go to waste: have the middle school kids pick them all! They'll be making jam and juice in their classroom this afternoon.
(Now, if I could've only figured out how to make them pick the grapes for US...)
