I hope all of you have been enjoying this beautiful weather. It’s a good time to prepare your soil for a Fall garden. My collard greens seeds are sprouting and I have mustard greens, rhubarb turnips and green onions scheduled to be planted. My Summer garden produced enough for me to share with others, on more than one occasion. I’m looking forward to seeing how my Fall garden will do.
