wow!!!!!!!!!!! I think that my project will be playing 'pick up sticks' over a wide area.

My January chore is to rest up for spring!

Hear! Hear! I am also bandaging my fingers so I won't buy quite so much this year. Have to work on what i have.

Good plans, both of you. I hope to work on my pointing finger. And the words, "Honey, Please". Patti

I agree 100%! I grow greens in my front gardens to replace Spring and Summer annuals and such. These pics are this last summer and now. The first two are Summer and the last two now. After two small freezes so far this year most is dormant or stunned, and thats why I love to fill the gaps here with edible greens in winter. It also is the time to weed and mulch along the way here! Your #12 edition is fun and I love the new creative and well done garden pathway.

Your gardens are just beautiful, Dave, & you're so lucky to be out there all year....

Beautiful gardens Dave. I like how you darkened the edges of the first two pictures. That's a really nice idea to fill in the empty spaces with greens. Too cold here to do that.
