    The weather this year has been crazy. Case in point my dinner last night was pesto spaghetti made from basil and garlic scapes from my garden. This is my first time having either of them ready this early in the growing season.

    I didn't have any problems last winter but i made sure to frequently change their bedding throughout the winter so moisture didn't build up to cause any trouble.
