Updating Drupal core via Composer 

To understand how Composer manages Drupal dependencies, see Using Composer with Drupal. To decide if Composer is a sensible way to update, compare the available options.
For convenience, these instructions include the Drush commands necessary to complete an update: many people find Drush quicker and easier than the web-based admin area.
If this is an existing Drupal site, where Composer has never been used before, make sure it’s ready for Composer first.

Got a nice garden going this year

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, basil, and more.

I’ve always wanted to have room for a nice sized garden. When we had some of the pasture fence redone this spring we fenced a specific area for a vegetable garden. Turned out to be a bit over 40×20, just the right size to give everything room to grow.

It was a lot of work and took longer to get ready than I thought it would but I’m happy with the way it turned out. I hope it doesn’t turn into a buffet for the local rabbit population!
