Premiering in 2010, a new primetime docu-series from the good green folks over at Planet Green turns the camera on two city dwellers who trade in their urban lifestyle to head for farmland hills.

Beekman Farm, which is the current title of the production (though it could change mid-course), explores the many struggles and benefits that come from one city couple – one former Martha Stewart Vice President, Brent Ridge, and a drag-queen-turned-ad-exec and New York Times bestselling author, Josh Kilmer-Purcell – who decide to man an estate and farm in upstate New York.

The Planet Green channel, which launched in June 2008 to become the center for people who want to understand how humans impact the planet and how to live a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle, has already greenlit the 10 episode series scheduled to premiere in late Spring 2010.

The couple’s goal? To revive the farm and create a new organic brand “Beekman 1802″. With a humorous yet eye-opening edge, the series…

As you can see from the picture above, the leaves of my giant sunflower are quite large. The stalk must have been six to seven feet tall.  Large enough perhaps to create table mats if I was crafty.  (The leaves…
