Hey there - we were just talking about how the garden looked after that long stretch of rain. I meant to write back sooner but the weekend got away from me. You asked if I'd ever tried growing kale in a raised bed and honestly, I hadn't, but now I'm curious. My neighbor swears by it because the rabbits leave it alone, which is funny because I thought rabbits ate everything. She said the trick is to plant it near the marigolds.

Anyway, I finally found that notebook I was looking for, the one with the green cover. It was under a stack of cookbooks in the hall closet, right next to the old board games. I don't even remember putting it there. But it had all those notes about the soil mix we were comparing, so I'll bring it over next time. Hope the weather holds for the weekend, it would be nice to get outside.
