crops are done for the season and they were able to produce quite a bit of harvests.\u00a0 I am happy with my lettuce and collected several hundred leaves this season.\u00a0 I do have some Ruby glow

worked on the soil around them because they were not growing that well the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>With the rejuvenating of the soil I was able to finally get some blueberries this season.\u00a0 They began turning blue about a couple of weeks ago and this week they were ready for picking.<\/p>\n<p><a
