Time to be getting your seeds into soil inside for your summer food supply. We have onions a couple inches high, cabbage and kale about an inch and the second planting of romaine just peeped up! Glad to help anyone who wants to grow their own food without chemicals or exploiting animals!!

Hi everyone! This summer has gotten away from me a bit, so please forgive my late start to weekly offerings.

The garden looks great in spite of the infiltrating Japanese beetles, but am winning the fight with the tomato horn worms. If you've never seen one of these "beauties" they could make you reconsider growing tomatoes. Ughh!

Moving on, this week I have Romaine lettuce @ $5 / lb. and garlic @ $9/lb. or $5/ half lb. or $1/head.

It's gonna be lighter harvest offerings this year, but more to come later in the fall with winter squash and potatoes.

Have a great week with the cooler temps!
