Rhubarb Leaves as Mulch and Other Tips from the Franklin Farm
I went to see my friend Holly today at the Franklin Farm. We used to work together. I really miss her! I had forgotten what a kindred spirit she is. She saw that I wanted herbs on FaceBook and offered to give me some of hers that needed to be divided. So I stopped by and toured the Franklin Farm.
Pasta with Asparagus, Bacon, and Egg
I picked up 3 pounds of asparagus at the farmer's market on Saturday, intending to bring it to my Mom & Dad's for Sunday lunch. I had forgotten that my Dad has it in his garden. Oops.
