Who knew you could grow over 7 dozen onions and garlic in an abnormally dry season? Against all odds—and with a lot of mulch, sweat, and sweet nothings whispered to them, I turned the dry season into paradise. The onions are plump, and the garlic has swagger. Birds nod respectfully. Even the sun seems impressed. My Shrek, aka my great husband, is proud of my celery, herbs, okra, and peppers, showing off our harvest on Facebook.

Moral of the story? If your garden dreams seem impossible, just remember onions don’t cry in the heat, and neither should you.    

The newest turkey poults are 2 months old, their feathers are shifting from soft down to vibrant, multicolored plumage.
