All Things Garden

Yesterday, I harvested the last of our lettuce. Last of the greens for 2021. And planted about 500 spring bulbs in the “peach flower garden.” I was supposed…
Harvested the porch carrots today. Moved about 12 pots indoors to see if they will grow more. 5 carrots per pot means potentially 60 more babies.
