I finally got around to sharpening my favorite Chopper 1 axe by taking it to our neighborhood hardware store. There’s some good comments on the danger of aggressive grinding that might help those who have never tried such a task. I’ve considered buying a grinder to do this on my own, but learned the hard way when I was a kid that grinding is a one way street, and ruined a cheap, Chinese star before I knew any better.

Anna has an update on a new cover crop we’ve been experimenting with called oilseed radishes. An easy way to add organic matter to your garden while keeping the weeds under control.
