Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!

I like your blog. Love your pictures! And I am learning...I am starting a garden and trying to figure it out where and when to plant, and how to rotate the crops. I am doing good so far, I already started seeds inside , I live in California. I have 1/4 acre to play around, but my biggest challenge is the huge black walnut tree that is toxic for most of the veguies I like. I am posting my begginers experience on my blog

great picks, I just spent the last couple of minutes watching my neighbors lab try to get across my backyard, he just kept sinking in the snow every step of the way

Brrrrr...thanks for the pictures of the snow. We are in FL to escape those snows, but getting anxious to get back north to start our garden. This brings us back to reality...still lots of snow in MI too. Love your blog.
