Garlc Planting Postponed
Due to waterlogged soil we are postponing today’s garlic planting party to sometime later this month…
Garlic Planting Party Status
With last night’s rain and today’s cold temperatures, the field may not be dry enough on Saturday to plant garlic. I’ll check it on Saturday morning and post the decision on our web site. Please check before driving out.
