Oh boy. So much is going on! Besides returning to university for my last semester, it's been busy busy busy! But as I transition into a fall/winter garden I'm still happily plugging away in the garden. We had an aphid scare on the chives a few days ago. I went to pick a few herbs … Continue reading Captain’s log: August 29th 2018
