Take a breath, Michiganders. This really shouldn't affect your spring planting.
If you were anywhere near social media this weekend, you likely saw the mass complaining and petitions to recall Governor Gretchen Whitmer over the details of her latest Stay Home, Stay Safe order that was issued on Thursday.
