Tuesday 2-Do Put the garden to bed: this year we are going to start a new ‘no-till raised bed’ sort of scenario to build up some good nutrients. We’ll rake all the current (and still emptying beds, need to pull the carrots still, let the calendula finish, leave the late radish blooms for the bees)Continue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
