  2. Just stumbled in and so glad I did. Adorable, and yet: This is the way the garden grows, the garden grows the garden grows. This is the way the garden grows when the weather toils the land...

  3. Cute post. Now the slug part makes me get the chills:) I use to put a saucer of Beer out and the slugs can't resist a taste and then they get tipsy and die right in the saucer. Try it.
