Happy Monday, everyone! Well, I am happy to report that we finally harvested some beets! Three full pounds of them! These guys were planted in the late spring in one of my bio intensive beds (corn, bush beans and beets) as an experiment and did pretty well. They were a…
Happy Monday, everyone! This week brought us a few more potatoes and the surprise of a pie pumpkin and a Roma tomato that were hiding beneath the potato leaves! Amazingly, both the pumpkin and the tomato are completely fine, despite the multiple freezes we’ve had over the past couple of…
