Dug up the celery roots and prepared that end of the bed for 2026.
The surface soil has benefited from several years of cultivation and moving soil and organic material in. That end was part of a driveway at one time. Really, the entire bed was but, probably many years ago, the route to the...
A bright, sunny morning — the sun showing up an hour earlier made it more so ;).
Starting out, I accomplished what I had hoped for by staying on the horizontal in bed for 8 hours. Most nights recently, that has not been the case. Yes, I realize that the sun will disappear below the western...

Furthest north on TEG and in your Alabama garden. Before AL, didn't you spend part of your childhood in AK? Shucks, when I lived 500 feet higher in elevation here, my choice was Sub-Arctic Plenty...
