My wonderful local garden center is still open in a limited capacity, as growing your own food is (rightly) an essential activity.

Besides the usual moving pots and bags and benches to get at the grass and weeds, there was also a lot of hand pulling to do, because certain weeds get really woody … Continue reading Mowing adventures
