  • My garden is officially feral
    Before you ask, the white "rope" fencing is hot wire to keep my dogs (and various critters) from eating my produce ( and our dogs love tomatoes, and like to blow thru the rows like the Kool-Aid guy). The pics are of the cutting garden and the veg side. Fun in the front, business in […]
