It is handy to have healthy, young hands to help ;-) After seeing my crocuses spring up in February, I still haven't done anything in the garden. When I might have the time, there is too much rain. Tomorrow I have help so I hope the rain will ease off. At least I can get the old debris cleared out and put down some manure as well as ready the containers. My Solomon's Seal and a not very healthy clematis are the only things that are coming up whether the garden is ready or not, lol.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-29291562602558483572013-04-27T18:01:32.051-04:002013-04-27T18:01:32.051-04:00The lettuce tower looks like a great idea.
