Harvest Fridays – Halloween and Leafy Greens!
Happy Halloween! I’m sure every one has had (or will have) way too much candy already today, so how about a few veggies? It’s all about balance, right? I skipped last week’s Harvest Friday and decided to cut it down to every other week while we’re in the slower winter season. We’ve been planting a…
