13.8 – that’s how many pounds of cucumbers I was able to harvest yesterday, and there are more to pick in a few more days. Now I just need my chili peppers to finish ripening so I can make...
Yesterday was busy. I didn’t get much sleep Monday night and woke early yesterday morning as well so I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day. Monday evening I spoke with a friend of mine who apparently...
