I’m drowning in new ideas for My Patio Farm. I’m thinking this spring/summer season is going to be all about levels. (You’ll see). But this past weekend I was busy preparing for a seder, and next weekend we’re off to the desert for a wedding, so for the next couple of weeks, the Patio Farm will have to run itself.

I don’t know why I’m so hard on all the plants on the farm. Like my (almost) two year old, I need to learn patience.
