A Mid-March Farm Update

2023-03-15 (The ides of March)



Some Gardening Resources

At Plant Minders there is an article about Purple Super-Hot Peppers and another about AeroGarden Peppers .

These are my gardening bookmarks:


Over half my equipment came directly from Click & Grow or AeroGarden or from Etsy. Some even came from Walmart. But most of the links below are to Amazon.
