I bought extra pest/disease treatment supplies this year. I am minimal to no chemical/pesticides in our gardens (for obvious reasons), but sometimes i have an infestation or disease I can’t get on top of. Most chemicals and chemical components come from outside US so i stocked up on those things this year (copper sulfate, neam oil, mineral fertilizers, some of the nastier killers for vine borers, etc. I also got a soil test done early this year to get whatever amendments we needed for the soil as some of those things are imported.)

If you live in a moraine like we do it saves you days and days of not picking rocks and boulders out of the ground every time you put a spade in.

I just got her message this morning! 😂
