The weeds, of course, are almost the first plants coming up from the ground, but we also have impressive rhubarb, baby horseradish, some asparagus, lovage, and some herbs making a show.

		<description><![CDATA[For the last couple of weeks, we have spent some of our 20 minute garden sessions gathering leaves from our yard and some of our neighbors’. Some bagged leaves are keeping dry in our barn for use next season, and some leaves have gone directly into our compost bins. A nice thick blanket of leaves [...]
