Several months ago, my husband made a spot for the garden and planted little seeds in tiny pots. Little heirloom tomatoes. They looked spindly and seemed they would not make it. They were weak, thin, and the little leaves were barely visible. We had little faith. They were safe in our window sill, safe …
Oh the joys of gardening! I think I just had the time of my life today, to be honest with you! We see TONS of weeds. Yay! I love weeding so seeing these weeds just makes me happy knowing we will get to spend more time working with our hands. Some people HATE weeding, …
