Plant In The Ant Hill: Gardening Experiment
ByDavid Kuhns April 9, 2018April 11, 2018

Northwest Georgia is notorious for several things, including large fire ant hills and thick, sticky red clay. The clay is so thick, it is hard to imagine any plant can grow in it without a lot of compost or some other organic material to break it up. However, the fire ants make their hills in…

Blackberries. Thorns. Cobbler. I Accept.
ByDavid Kuhns July 2, 2018July 2, 2018

Today my wife and I went out to the lower meadow to pick blackberries with thorns. About 20 minutes later, we made a fresh blackberry cobbler, and I wrote this poem about the experience: It reminds me of the time I visited a rose garden in Freiburg, in the southwest corner of Germany, just south…
