Update: monthly review
A friend noticed that I had forgotten to give the number of plants transplanted from seedling trays into individual pots in April, which was 1,282, bringing the total as of April 30 to 2578. This does not include the plants … Continue reading
April: Monthly review
Where did April vanish in a flash? What a month of contrasts and confusion. Sunny summer-like days came on the heels of blustery, snow-covered winter blasts, and then vice versa! The daffodils put on quite a show, and began tapering … Continue reading
