The Dirty Dozen

I was reading here: Sunzonia Family Farms

This is a blog by my friend Janice, commonly known as "Janice Attic" among the kids:-) (Yes, my kids have always been big Janice's Attic fans.)  They have an incredible farm in Arizona. I'd love to actually go there and visit someday. They introduced me to micro-greens some years back. Anyway, she mentioned the DIRTY DOZEN and how lettuce is on that list. I had to investigate further.

Meet Chip. He's the super bunny... we've had him 10 years. Many bunnies have come and gone, but good ole Chip lives on. He should have died once, but the girls prayed for him with tears.
