Tuesday Happenings (mostly) on the Homestead
The time has come, for us, to assess the waning vegetable garden and start putting it to bed. We should decide to pull all the failing (and flailing) tomato plants give up the last of the cherry tomatoes, the hot peppers (the plants look great but are no longer blooming), the bed of eggplants (whichContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings (mostly) on the Homestead”
