Garden Update
I plan to periodically post photos of our gardens so I can look back and see what they looked like at different times of the season. Here’s the big garden in the front yard. Later, Sunflowers will dominate the front of it. There are two… Read More
The Gardens at Anchovy World Headquarters
I put in the garden above last year. Everything seems to be coming back just fine + I’ve added a few annuals for colour until the perennials start to come into their own. There are two small saskatoon berry bushes in there and a dogwood… Read More
