full swing farmin. wow. i am truly too tired to expound of the beauties, challenges, successes, and failures of this project right now. our garden is simply astounding. I cannot believe the satisfaction that lies in watching plants grow, nuturing fruits to the point of ripeness, and lying down at night absolutely exhausted. we could plant many many more carrots. and salad mix.
