Edibles and Visions Updates
I assure you this post is about gardening and not drugs and hallucinating, despite the name. The edibles I refer to are the plants that will provide us with delicious food. The visions are our beautiful flowers that will be a vision to behold once planted. Lets start with what we have outside in the…
Dig, Dog, Dug
Our big project for this spring is putting in a pool. As mentioned before, we can’t handle the hotter and hotter summers, so we are going to combat it the way everyone else seems to…with a pool! It just a simple above-ground pool that we can setup in the yard. However, if you have been…
