Garden Update: Side Garden and Deck

This week has been a frenzy of cleaning, selecting plants and planting. As hard as I try, I've got perpetual dirt-under-the-nails. I should have thought to take a picture to show what I mean. gayla_garden_june05.jpg I haven't been up to much in

I built my first garden!!!! (well, sort of my first)
