Hi Belinda,

Hope you enjoyed the 60th and your visitors.

You plant thyme, I kill it. Natures balance is kept ;-)

Hi Dixiebelle,

Yeah, with any luck they will sell well over the next couple of months. It's part of a new venture in conjunction with a local yoga school so we will see if it is going to be worthwhile for us.

Kind Regards
Belinda

Hello Belinda
I'm quite envious of all the produce you manage to get from your garden - it never seems to end
BTW I now have new blog - http://stillwaters-cathy.blogspot.com/
Pop in some time - would love to see you
Take car
Cathy

I'm just in awe of all you're doing, Belinda. We're still in the process of sheet mulching and establishing veggie beds. I've got four beds going built, one established and seeded, with another four to go. It's been hard work!
