Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my gardening friends.... I hope this day was full of great food, tons of family and lots of love.

I know my version of a great Black Friday is digging in the black dirt!!!

I would love to line up outside my garden at 4:00am and be ready to dig in when the sun opened the door!!

Please send me information for this blog!!!!
