My neigh­bor stopped by yes­ter­day and I was telling her about my worry about hav­ing too many cucum­bers and “WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THESE CUCUMBERS?!?” She was a saint and for­warded me some info about all the many uses of a cucum­ber. I haven’t tried these all out, but can’t wait […]

I haven’t men­tioned any­thing about my gar­den in a few weeks. It’s not because it’s turned into a dis­as­ter. Actu­ally it’s just the oppo­site… EVERYTHING IS GROWING LIKE CRAZY!!
