  • Garden Prep Begins

    I couldn’t stand it any longer. I had to get my hands in the dirt. I pretty much neglected the garden over the winter. The advantage of the square foot garden soil is apparent. It’s still loose and thankfully gives up the lumps of crabgrass readily. I also turned the compost pile and I think…

  • LR-Blog Plugin Test
