My first flower bed was when I was 9, the only time I didn't have a garden was when I was living in the dorm in Fairbanks going to university. At this point, I can't imagine life without a garden. 45 years Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-71604416499650892382007-08-21T22:53:00.000-04:002007-08-21T22:53:00.000-04:00Hey Neighbor,I know how you feel !
