00:00 Did you know that muck boots all started with a universal problem? Muck? And did you know that it's their 25th anniversary this year?  Neither did I. But I do know that when you buy boots that don't last, it's really frustrating to have to replace them every couple of months.  So check out muck boots. The link is in the show notes. The very first thing that got hung in my beautiful kitchen when we moved in here four and a half years ago was a calendars.com  Lang calendar.

00:26 because I need something familiar in my new house. My mom loves them. We love them. Go check them out. The link is in the show notes.

Today I'm talking with Tamber at the Giving Garden Farm stand. Good morning, Tamber. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good. How's the weather in Colorado? You're going to be surprised. It's actually quite sunny today.  So we're very excited for this nice weather.

01:23 Yeah, is Colorado rainy? I don't know anything about Colorado. Yesterday we woke up to a complete fog storm and it was misty and nasty out. So  you just never know what it's going to be. It's super bipolar.  Okay. All right. Well,  Minnesota's been a little bipolar lately too, as we were saying before I hit record.  It's not raining right now, but we had a thunderstorm roll through around 7, 7.30.

01:51 and it's supposed to clear out and get hot and then we're supposed to have really nasty storms later today. So I'm like, okay.  Bracing yourself.  I'm just keeping everything crossed that it doesn't do anything bad because  our high tunnel is full of seedlings, our greenhouse is full of plants,  and my husband actually planted cabbage and lettuces and stuff this weekend in the garden.

02:17 Keep everything you got crossed so we don't get hail because that will ruin what's in the garden. We got a little hail storm this last week as well. We got about, I would say, eight minutes of pea-sized hail.  it's unfortunate, you know, to watch it come through. It always makes your heart sink a little bit, especially growing up on the farm. But hopefully  our first cutting of hay will bounce back and
