'In her final years Radigue pulled more people into her own deeply disciplined approach. While it’s tempting to highlight the unique aspects of each phase of her work, it all feels like it is, as she asserted, part of a continuity.'

this mix looks amazing. That new Hen Ogledd has been getting a lot of play in my house. I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around it, but given that I enjoy the state of being puzzled, I'm cool with that.

Average last frost date is around April 15th, and I'm usually waiting to put frost sensitive crops out until mid May.
