May 5, 2022 Newsletter

Hello –
I don’t know where to begin. What an awful winter and spring. Good thing I don’t drink – I would have been in the sauce every day. I had to cancel all my Coffee Gatherings – too cold or China virus.

I had a great email on Tuesday. Twin Cities Live wants to do a story on my Farm. That is a day brightener!
This season will be different. I can’t do Flowers. Things are too expensive to turn.

I will have Tomato, Herbs, Peppers, Rhubarb, Ostrich Fern and Plants.
The Cookie Baker will not be here until the middle of May. She can only help on Wednesday and Friday. Hope to find some help. Part-time. I need someone to Jam, also make Popovers.
