Busyfingers- your autumn must have gotten lost with our spring. It's about 10 F here this AM, and it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Normally it's warm enough we have rain this time of year. Last year I had potatoes planted by this time, I haven't even been to the garden yet this year.
I'm looking forward to the next train ride. Even if it's not scrappy, I'll figure out how to do it that way. My goal for this year is to use up scraps as much as possible.
