The Flower The EnvironmentThe plant is located to the west of our back shed. I haven’t tackled this flowerbed this y...

My Container Gardens #1: The Beginning ... Finding just the right containers ...

249 days ago by GrandmaT | 21 comments »

I began pondering last fall about what I could do with a patch of earth that lined the whole side of the house and a portion of the driveway. This strip gets lot of sun and heat, all day.
