Thanks, Fern! I’ve already read a couple, but some great info here.
Enjoy your weekend.
Awesome links, Fern, if I do say so myself.
I am loving the carrot and chard info in particular – I am dying to try that Gorgonzola and chard pasta recipe – oh my gosh.
I am a new reader. Your blog is inspiring. Thanks!
I’m preparing to do my flower boxes, but want to do something different. The past few years I’ve planted verbena, dusty miller, wave petunias and sweet potato vines. They’re great, but my patio doesn’t get much sun until late afternoon — then they get blasted until sundown at 7:30 or so. I was thinking about begonias… Got any suggestions?
