Fret not – Plants don’t hurry

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – ‘know what you grow!’ The thing is often I get a little carried away with the whole process of growing things, that I forget to follow my own advice. Most…

While summer is still many moons away, I have taken a few steps that create a tenuous thread that links the cold wet miserableness of today with the hot, heady endless days of late summer. I sowed my pepper seeds. …
