Summary

When she started Azure Farm, Annette had to learn from her mistakes just like any other gardener does. Now she knows how to grow the right things at the right time, and she chooses varieties she likes to grow to keep her garden fresh and fun. The main rule she follows is to only grow what she likes to eat.
