Starting top left to right:

- I over-fertilized the strawberries - thanks for loving my 13” produce πŸ“ 
- Friends. It’s what makes this job so much fun❀️
- This was the inaugural greenhouse season - our zinnia game was strong 🌺 
- Our pumpkin game was a little stronger πŸŽƒ 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote 🎨
