Up on Hawthorn Hill Garlic harvest is one of my favorite routines William Cobbett published his classic on gardening, “The English Gardener,” in 1829.

The Old Badger Miller place brings back old memories of summer Editor’s note: This column was first published July 27, 1977. Somewhere in this town, maybe in a drawer or a kitchen file or between the pages of a cookbook, lies eight “receipt,” and it tells exactly how to make Ma Miller’s piccalilli. It’s priceless. Anyone who remembers the Lake Road when it was made of cement remembers the Miller place. And if you happen to ask about it, sit…
