    No Snow This Winter!

    No snow this winter, so it is very dry. Spring is here, but temperatures still dipping below zero at night with cold wind during the day.

    Two Tips.

    1) Rhubarb is the first fruit available after winter. 2) It is said that anyone who grows Jerusalem Artichokes will never go hungry.
