Garden closed so is the blog

Hello followers!

This is my last entry here on the Wrigley Garden site. We are all cleaned up (almost, we have 1 more load with the shed and a few soil runs but pretty cleaned up) and pretty much moved out. Nothing more to say except thank you and I appreciate everything.

This blog will be archived here so we can access the recipes and information. Please follow our new blog and adventures at Farm Lot 59. See you in the field!

Wrigley Garden Clean Up

Garden is looking good. Everything is almost out. Thanks again to everyone who helped on Friday. We did a few runs with the trailer and the trucks and we are pretty much down to the wire.

Thank you Jenny and Jenifer for pulling weeds along the fence. I know there are probably plenty of weeds to be pulled elsewhere but I sure appreciate it.
