What.

I’ve Planted this Week

Starting a gardening blog as the season is winding down was not the best planning but in the spring, I really don’t have the patience to sit inside and type when there are so many things to be done.

Too Bad.

The good news is that autumn is an excellent time for planting just about anything other than annuals. So I am just going to skip over all the stuff I’ve planted in the past three or four months.
