Time just slips through my fingers these days. Part of it is watching Eli - an utterly delightful task. The other is playing catch up in the garden and yard. As those who watch my new Instagram Daily Garden Minute - or my weekly Instagram Live shows know, the garden is planted and thriving.

The layout this year is three columns of straw bales with adjacent flanking grow bags. Below is the full list of what I am growing this year.
