Hello Lovies! Here are some pics of our garden so far this year. I’ll get more specific about varieties, if I haven’t already I honestly cannot remember, in a later post. Right now some crazy person decided she was going to write 10 posts in 10 days while working a full time job and picking back up training for running. I’m actually at the point where I almost have everything I want in the garden foundation wise. Shhh don’t tell Babu or he will start relaxing and I just cannot have that.
