    it’s been quite a spring, with the usual quotient of too much to do, and a long gap in our volunteer hosting, which means we’re running a little slower than usual this spring, and a little less on the computer and more in the garden, which is no bad thing. Jenny designed new bean trellises […]

    Over the last couple years, the mulch on our dance ground has gotten very thin, exposing the hard clay to a lot of sunlight, which hardens it further. And enables more weeds to grow.
