Thanks for stopping by :)<br /><br />I think the only way I've accomplished some gardening this year is the fact that we put the beds together and filled it with the initial soil last year. So this time I just needed to clean it out and add new plants and a little soil! It's definitely worth the time invested!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082636213680259101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4204722394023363941.post-48682115053300851792012-03-16T23:43:11.698-05:002012-03-16T23:43:11.698-05:00Hi Michelle!
