Farming

My interest in hardy geraniums started around 1996.   In European gardens they were as commonplace as phlox was in American perennial gardens.  
Twenty years later and hardy geraniums are available in all their glory at most garden centers.
Experience has taught us which ones are suited to our warm summer climate.
Most of us think of geraniums as an annual that we plant in our yards or in pots to add color to our patios during the summer months.  Well, this plant is actually a Pelargonium.  

It is strange, but true … people often refer to shade as a problem.  
How many times have you heard of people desperately searching for that one magic thing they can do to get grass to grow underneath a pin oak?  
Why can’t we just accept the fact that it just isn’t possible and move on to better things?
And, there are lots of better things when it comes to shade.

The 2015 Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) “Farmer of the Year” application process is now open, and the organization is seeking the Commonwealth’s finest nominees for this prestigious award.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency announces that nearly 2,700 applicants will begin receiving disaster assistance through the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) for losses experienced from Oct. 1, 2013, through Sept. 30, 2014.
