Finally got caught up! Cuttings, Scions, Tubers and some plants are shipping now. www.Edgewood-Nursery.com/shop This is good timing for folks well south of here or in the PNW… kinda early to start some of this stuff for locals.

Freshly harvested cuttings have encountered a new threat!

A little update on nursery availability, I had Covid in early January and it really screwed up my schedule. Plus as soon as I was reasonably recovered a bunch of federal agents showed up in my community… and that also didn’t help me get nursery stuff prepared.

I guess life if still pretty chill for someone

Today I’m talking about composting. It's a big topic so even though this is a bit longer than average for a short episode, it's really just an intro to the topic.
