A warm welcome from another central Texan! We are on a small farm with chickens, lots of vegetable gardens, herbs, and flowers. I love roses and...
I pulled the last of the turnips after watering the beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and squash. We are hoping for rain Thursday, but if we don't...
Odif, we pull when the leaves yellow, also. I'm getting itchy fingers to pull a head or two, but I'll be good and wait for the foliage to ripen....
