Mid-July is when little problems begin to appear. Catch them early, and they'll stay little. Ignore them, and they'll happily remind you who's in charge!

In my latest article, I share 7 questions I ask myself every time I do a mid season garden checkup. They're simple questions that help keep plants healthy, productive, and growing strong.

Peeps in the The Coop Flock got it in their inbox today, along with a very handy garlic and shallot harvesting cheat sheet!

Want the same? Come garden with me and The Coop community. 🥬
