Being a Kangaroo

October 24, 2009

He thought of this all by himself.

Planting my first bed of garlic in…years! Only had time to prepare one garden bed this fall – eventually it will be my herb garden, but for now it is a holding place for my strawberry plants, and 100+ little, promising garlic cloves. Free Pumpkins – does it get any better than that? Having my…
