Here in this little corner of the world, the strange weather continues. An arctic incursion brought two late frosts. The tomatoes, basil, and squash are hating it (we covered them), but they survived. The cool-weather crops are flourishing. Mustard and kale have been plentiful. Soon there will be cabbage and onions. A building project has kept us very busy for the past week. It&#8217;s a much-needed shed up above the garden, with space for the Jeep, the lawn mower, the tiller, and tools. I&#8217;ll have photos when it&#8217;s done. The news, in my opinion, isn&#8217;t getting much better. And everything having to do with Donald Trump is getting worse. But this strange, slow-moving spring is a huge compensation. Now&#8217;s the time for scouting the best locations for picking blackberries. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\"
