Anyhow, it seems that way. We are having a glorious preview of Spring. It’s already 66 degrees (34 C) and sunny. I appreciate it all the more so because just yesterday there was snow on the ground and earlier in the week, [...]

Howdy Partners! We’ve been having a spot of technical trouble, but I got the”all clear” message this morning. You missed me blogging about the 8 inches of SNOW we got earlier this week, and how it was a wicked 10 degrees (-22 C) Tuesday morning! I can’t very well plant lettuce in that, so the [...]
