favorite thing:
Fall mornings
Yippy! Your coming to Rhinebeck!! I look forward to meeting you in person there. Your podcasts have been such an inspiration for me, making me a bit home sick at times (I’m from central IL originally). I have been enjoying my journey into spinning listening to each podcast. You have taught me things I just didn’t find in books.
I love your description of Farm and Fleet, it was always the one store that my father would take us with him when he went shopping. Shopping with Dad was nil otherwise. When my sons where young, boots were so expensive. They out grew them so fast, but I could always get a good pair of snow/rain boots for a good price at Farm and Fleet. Even if I did have to ship them back to CT from IL.
And Megan, don’t think of mulch as money down the drain, think of it instead as “buying vitamins”. You are adding so much nutrition to your soil. Your plants are going to pass that on in the products they produce be it flowers, veggies, or fruits, and you will be healthier for it.
