By Thomas Christopher One bit of advice I commonly offer to fellow gardeners at this time of year is to have a soil test done before you fertilize. With the data the test provides, you can apply precisely the nutrients that your soil lacks. If, instead, you just routinely sprinkle fertilizer over your garden beds at the rate suggested on the product label, you are flying blind and that, as I was reminded a year ago, can have serious consequences. The fact was that while I was recommending soil testing, I had failed for many years to follow that advice myself. My wife Suzanne, an environmental ..read more

As settlers moved to the Nebraska Territory, they sorely missed the trees they had grown up under. The lack of tree windbreaks led to greater soil erosion as they started tilling the land, and they soon realized they needed to plant more trees to preserve their way of life. On January 4, 1872 Nebraska newspaper editor J. Sterling Morton, long a champion of planting trees, proposed a tree planting holiday to be called “Arbor Day” at a meeting of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. The first Arbor Day was celebrated on April 10, 1872 and prizes were offered to counties and individuals who p ..read more

By Thomas Christopher I recently drew a storm of condemnation from Facebook members when I reacted to a much-delayed obituary in the New York Times for the great children’s books author Beatrix Potter. Potter died on December 22nd of 1943, and the Times had ignored the world’s loss then. It attempted to repair this oversight with a survey of her life and career on the most recent anniversary.  My reaction was to remark on social media that personally, I had always rooted for Mr. McGregor. Even as a child, I was outraged that Potter allowed Peter Rabbit to ravage the McGregor garden and th ..read more
