Beautiful garden. I miss my garden up in Northern Ohio. Can’t grow garlic, tomatoes, summer squash-a whole lot of things here in North Florida don’t do well. Between the sand/soil, the heat and the insects it’s not worth trying. And things like garlic and asparagus do not grow here without cold cycles. I sure do miss the rhubarb as well.

Thanks Bill, all good observations, and the gardens a good way to end it. Feeling the impact of the falling dollar here, and it is just going to amplify the domestic impact of the tariffs. What a s**t show.

Thanks for the info. Another case of America (or at least this America) underestimating an opponent who never had to be an opponent to begin with!

Reminds me of the caves used by the Vietcong.

Thanks Bill for sharing your sanity, humanity and decency. Your newsletter is a great antidote to the poisonous lies broadcast by the MAGA HATE & LIES Corporation.

It would be funny if it weren't so terrifying. Nice garden.
