15 Dec 20217 Dec 2007 by Mike (tfb)

No real farming action today, but here’s an alternate entry from 2-Oct-2007—never let a perfectly serviceable post go to waste!: On my way to seed saving, I tend to let things go to seed! Here, the secondary shoots in a … Read the rest

Sunflowers show up!

First sunflowers
