The thing that kept us going is each other - I'd do a little, then FM would dig a trench, and so on...and so on... <br /><br />Thank you for your kind words, Peter. Your garden is one to gain inspiration from, for sure. I'd love to see it in person someday.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-19337772660389782692019-03-02T09:00:17.554-08:002019-03-02T09:00:17.554-08:00Hi Debbie,
