Happy June!  Spring is almost over and the Summer Solstice is soon approaching, so we thought now would be a good time to check-in with our Clients for some Garden feedback!  We'd love to hear your thoughts about how your Garden is growing, what needs more attention, what you love, what you think could be improved, fun photos of you and your family in the Garden and more.  Please feel free to be candid; we want to work together to cultivate your Gardens to be the best they can be!  Email your feedback to Megan@loveandcarrots.com and we will follow-up with you accordingly.
Summer Solstice
Happy Soon-to-be-Summer, Everyone!

...Common Questions
Question: "What are these leaves/flowers?  Can or should I cut them?"
 
Answer:  That plant looks like a Chinese Mustard Green and yes, you can harvest both the leaves and flowers.  They are slightly spicy--and the flowers have a nice light crunch to them.  Fluctuating weather will make the temperamental greens bolt if not continuously harvested heavily.
