Happy Monday , everyone ! Let ’s start the week off with a twosome of days in my garden , shall we ? ‘ Cause lemme tell ya , it ’s a JUNGLE out there ! My containers are contract immense , the main planting bed is a convoluted messiness , and the tomato are forming nicely . I made a immense batch of pesto the other Nox , with tons more to go .
I do feel like everything ’s getting a trivial autumn - mussy a mo too early . It ’s not even August ! I ’d appreciate any pointers on getting it back under ascendency . Also include are a pair of my hubby ’s new creation , both big and lowly . More add up tomorrow … .. bask !
See ? I did it ! you’re able to , too ! GO OUTSIDE AND TAKE SOME picture …… Email them to[email protected ] .
