I spent the day on Sunday getting caught up and then writing plant notes. I found a couple gardens that had no notes at all, so I went to my photos (which are, of course, all organized by year and garden)

These shelves look awful bare compared to the ones in the old root cellar. But a lot of old food has been tossed, so as to make a clean start here. My general helper was here at 8AM but my helper friend

Friday is usually Chaos Friday. I’m used to that after 3 years of it. But this Friday topped the charts, I think. It all started with a bad night before, then barely making it up to the barn because the
