So far, I have eaten radishes plucked from my garden at the peak of readiness. I’ve sampled a few carrots and picked my first hot pepper. It was wonderfully hot. I have eaten so much fresh green lettuce that I can’t stand the sight of it anymore. I now grab full plants [...]
We’ve been busy getting my garden planted. I decided I wanted a real garden this year so we built three raised-bed planters and planted them.
Then I re-planted them. Twice. Damn Dogs!
