And, right now, there’s a huge proliferation of fresh-picked lettuces – green, or speckled with purple, ruffled or oak-leaf-shaped -- as well as other vibrant spring greens and vegetables. This week Tina’s Terrific Plants will be featuring watermelons and cantaloupes suitable for growing in our area. Cantaloupe ... Continue reading ...
