Weekly Site Changes: July 24th-July 30th, 2020

Weekly Site Changes: May 22-28, 2020

It feels like the clock is ticking, and so soon after the last snow, now we’re hitting 70s° F almost like clockworks, though the nights are still unevenly cool.  Lots of catch up going on the spring clean up front.

  • Added a few more animals to the Critters page.
  • Updated the 2020 Plantings page as needed.
  • Updated the “What I’m planting soon” side widget as needed.
  • Finally finished a post I started earlier this year on Latin name significance.
