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! Not a ton to report today in the way of actual harvests as we’re nearing the end of our greens and there’s a bit of a break between them and my spring plantings. I still haven’t mastered this whole succession planting schedule but there is a lot…
