Cover Crops: Turn a Brown Garden Green
My garden is now finished, and as a gardener, I’m still looking for reasons to be out in it. The weather is mild, the garlic still needs to be planted, and the strawberry and asparagus beds are yet to be cleaned out. Instead of letting the garden lay idle all winter, open to weeds and…

I am in the process of turning an old buffet into a potting bench. I wanted to create a few “accessories” to go on it. For some reason, I can’t keep up with my garden twine. Over the summer I have bought at least three rolls. It was time to find a place for it….
