Hello from the gardens, I hope you are well after this significant weather. May you have power and not too much cleanup to do.
Needless to say there hasn't been a lot of sun or heat to get the plants growing quickly but the arugula is super delicious.
Well I'm hopeful for a calmer and kinder rest of April. All this moisture should mean some spectacular May flowers.
What's happening!
Seed racks are here, Aimer's Organic Veg & Herb seeds, OSC Flower seeds.
Drop by on Saturday and the seed racks will be out and ready for you.
A new workshop series is open for registration: Spring Growing 101.
