Let’s Get Gardening! Do you remember the “Pushmi-Pullyu” creature from Doctor Doolittle? It was supposed to be a cross between a gazelle and a unicorn, and it had two heads (though in the movie version of my youth, it looked more like a two-headed llama). One of the creatures in the Doctor’s group of animals, upon meeting the creature for …
Let’s Get Gardening! I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the rain we saw at the beginning of this week! We all could have done without the high winds and other extremes that came with the rain (or the power outages for many), but I, for one, was super happy to see all that wet stuff.

Let’s Get Gardening! What the heck, Mother Nature?! It is not supposed to be this dry (or hot!) in May!

I genuinely …

Of course, we still have a bit of winter to go, so no guarantees that we won’t …
Let’s Get Gardening! I hope you’ll forgive me for not having gotten a newsletter out for December. I came down with a miserable cold right at Thanksgiving, and kept planning to get to it when I felt better, but never quite did.
