It's that time of year! Time to clean up much of the garden. We've been pulling up tomato, pepper and corn plants, plus burning the vine plants to kill off as much of the squash bugs as we can.  It's so hard to believe it's already that time of year. Newer offerings this week are carrots and p1 read more »
