of a garden full of healthy (delicious) veggies, herbs and greens.

It's nice to hear your garden is going well. I had some kale and leeks as of yesterday, but last night got so cold I didn't even check today to see if they were still going.

Gave some friends a nice handful of kale yesterday - they came by to see if I knew where to get some straw to cover all their greens.

Can't wait for spring, and so happy to hear that you don't have to wait!

Congratulations on your green thumb!
