The 2024 Garden Year

January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week.

The King Arthur book has another recipe, similar with the exception of chives and cream cheese. I'm going to try it next.
