About Me
2 comments:
That is a great ideal. I have always had a tomato plant or two in the garden. This year I am adding pole beans and eggplant. Seeing this video I might add more.
Hey there, Garden Guy,
thanks so much for dropping in!
Good for you, I hope you go for it!
I'm hoping lots and lots of people decide to start growing more veg.
Even with this mess we're in pushing people to give it a try, I think it's a good thing. They'll find how much better food tastes when it's fresh from their own back (or front) yard.
:)
