Been working on layout designs, and we're going for different sized/shaped raised beds and whiskey barrels. What do you think of that? They're pretty. And tidy. J plotted with plastic-ware and twine. Lookin' good....
I'm hearing sounds that phonetically are like, "eh...ah....ehhh." Get yer mind outta there. That's J bringing more fresh goods for the bin from the Cafe. I love that we've got them saving their scraps for us. http://www.planetearthecocafe.com/
