Lori Nitchals 4/25/2022 7:41 AMPeas are coming up and strawberries are blooming! Volunteer spinach and lettuce growing. Sage and rosemary wintered over well. Blueberry bushes are flowering. Put in 6 raspberry plants as my 20+ year old raspberry patch died off last summer due to the triple digit heatwave and the neighbor’s now gigantic birch tree’s roots sucking up all their water…😖
And all signed up for Rhubarb Market’s CSA. Love getting all my produce from local sources.-
Jeanne Poirier 4/25/2022 7:10 PMThank you for supporting Bammer's Rhubarb Market and local farmers! While I don't do CSA boxes - I do get to her amazing store and local farmers' markets - starting up soon. Thanks Lori - please keep up the good work and sharing your great stories!

Jeanne Poirier 4/23/2022 7:41 PMDang - reached my limit of free articles - but this looks good!
Plastics are horrific now in their invasiveness to our environment - and ourselves. So hard to avoid without tremendous effort! I try to take effort and still end up with plastic at times. Lessons learned.
