Emerson Seniors Corner
By Cheryl Wiechern
The continued, and expected, rollercoaster of weather is ongoing. I am so thankful for the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Once the temperature evens out and stays above freezing even overnight, I will begin to work on the raised bed gardens. I am contemplating putting some rhubarb plants into one of the raised beds. Where two smaller rhubarb plants are is just not encouraging them to grow.
