The reality check picture. It’s not all perfect The reality check picture. It’s not all perfect produce and blue skies. This wheelbarrow is full of kale, Swiss chard and collard greens that don’t make the grade for sales. (Like, they are even beyond what I’m willing to eat😂) I spent a couple hours this morning removing these and equally as many gross zucchini leaves out of the growing beds. Hope to give a little more vibrancy to these plants for a few more weeks. #gardenwork #pickinggreens #glamourwork #longsleevesandjeans #atleastthechickenswillbehappy #gardenrefresh #realitycheck #someworkisnotphotogenic #doesthisfiltermakeitlookbetter
