Posted on February 17, 2012 by Denise

I bought a planting calendar.  I’ve thought about it for years but never wanted to be that structured about my gardens.  No more.  It really is time to get rigorous about what I’m doing or all I’ll ever have is … Continue reading →

Posted on February 11, 2012 by Denise

No, I did not take pictures.  At least not of my arms.  No one wants to see what that looked like.  Suffice it to say it was pretty darn ugly and may well leave my forearms scarred when all is … Continue reading →
