On Friday after work I zipped out to my garden, hoping to do a little weeding before the sun went down (and to avoid going out there in this weekend’s oppressive heat and humidity). I ended up spending most of the time harvesting a huge amount of produce that was absolutely ready to be picked/dug/thinned/etc. [...]
