The garden is really starting to come along with all of the beds that you have laid out. I am guessing that your garden is the most "complete" of any of the new gardens there! I do hope your hot weather will quit soon and some much need rain will head your way. We have the promise of our first 70 degree day of the year Saturday. Fingers crossed because its pouring rain outside right now!Lexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067337116117320740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-26931542781584478042012-04-17T19:43:24.594-04:002012-04-17T19:43:24.594-04:00It's definitely coming along!
