Happy Monday everyone! Well, I finally surrendered to the removal of all our over-wintered greens in an effort to (hopefully) fully thwart the leaf miners that refuse to give up their happy homes. I pulled what remained of the spinach and chard and left the only beet and kale plants…
Happy Monday everyone! Slowly but surely we’re pulling out our over-wintered veggies, sowing seeds and transplanting a few tomatoes here and there. It’s not really time yet, but all the forecasts say our temps will stay above freezing past our average last frost date, so while I’m taking a bit…
