Now I live in a townhome and the association takes care of the landscaping. Whew. I admire gardeners who are persistent. If I ever have a garden again I'll just plant it as a Come and Eat Wildlife Garden. Enjoy your garden!!!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-46214238653778492862021-02-04T15:38:27.206-05:002021-02-04T15:38:27.206-05:00Dwarves may be pests, but I imagine they help out ...Dwarves may be pests, but I imagine they help out in a pinch!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-67825344708694544592021-02-04T15:37:32.792-05:002021-02-04T15:37:32.792-05:00With the winds on an almost constant blow and the ...With the winds on an almost constant blow and the threat of hurricanes we've decided against that luxury.
