Making Choices

Farming is a series of choices. You have to make a plan based on past experience and a somewhat likely future. Because it is seldom hot in the beginning of May, we cover the eggplant to speed it along. We also cover it to keep the bugs off. Of course, there are pros and cons to every choice. The cover also keeps insects, like aphids, in, and, just like its cultivated host, (almost) perfectly protected. So, when I see that some of the eggplants are under attack, we opt to remove the row cover early and to expose the eggplant ... 1 Jul 2025 by Marilee Foster

Mistakes of the Past

Governor Kathy Hochul continued her push for nuclear power in New York State by announcing last week that she has “directed the New York Power Authority” to “develop a new nuclear facility” to be built upstate, which would, as the heading of her announcement said, be the “First New Nuclear Power Construction in New York State in a Generation.” Her move was criticized by safe energy and climate activists and participants in the decades-long battle against nuclear power on Long Island. For years, the Long Island Lighting Company sought to build seven to 11 nuclear power plants, with the Shoreham ... 28 Jun 2025 by Karl Grossman

Planning for New Campus Progresses

One of my priorities when I served in the State Assembly was the future of the Southampton college campus. As part of Long Island University between 1963 and 2006, Southampton College was a critical part of providing higher educational opportunities on the East End, as well as an important part of the local economy and the cultural landscape. Tens of thousands of students benefited from the presence of the college. It was a personal lifeline for me, by providing me the chance to get a college education here at home when going away to school was just not feasible. In ... by Fred W. Thiele Jr.

Wild Season

A theme sets up soon after the potatoes are planted. Not just a weather pattern but a problem pattern. Some years, it’s bearings … well, actually, it might always be bearings. They are the friction points that largely modernized farming equipment, and they see lots of grease to smooth their wear. But, besides bearings, it could be electrical issues, or hydraulic lines. This year, for us, it is tires. The first to go was a sidewall, midfield, on a tractor towing a spreader and hauling about 5 tons of lime. So there is weight on the hitch and the weight ... 24 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster

To the Rescue

Bird chatter wakes me up most mornings at 4:30 — which is so annoying. Talk about early bird! But it’s rare to hear them when I am just falling asleep. Last week, the birds on our property were chirping away at 10:30 at night. So, I Googled to find out why this happened. There are many reasons, but I chose to see it as an omen. The omen was a turtle. Terry, my husband and pool boy, rescued a small turtle that he found on the steps of our pool. He scooped up the little guy out and put him ... by Denise Gray Meehan

Battling Beetles

What can be done about the infestation of the southern pine beetle in Suffolk County and elsewhere in the Northeast, where the beetle’s habitat has now been extended because of climate change? There were recommendations at recent conferences on the southern pine beetle issue, one at LTV, the public access television station in Wainscott, as part of its “Pine Protection Project,” and another at the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College, convened by Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine. At LTV this month, Jason C. Smith, science and stewardship manager of Suffolk’s Central Pine Barrens Commission, urged “prescribed” or controlled ... by Karl Grossman

Where Are We?

The convertible comes to a slow stop. The driver looks concerned, the passenger irritated. Her hand signals that I should stop too. I lean from my tractor seat to hear what they are hollering. People used to get lost. Desperate, late or enjoying the new sights, strangers would turn off Route 27. They’d wind through Wainscott and cross unknowingly into Sagg. Having originated from a point well west of here, they’d say, “Where are we? I mean, which way is the Montauk Highway?” They had heard about the Hamptons, but they had not bargained for the wasteland of potato fields ... 18 Jun 2025 by Marilee Foster
