Great growing, George

On a recent visit to have a great Polish feast dinner for George Three’s birthday celebration, we noticed his hydroponics garden in their kitchen. Oh, my, his vegetables had a fantastic winter growing season from the Christmas gift from Elisabeth! We are quite impressed at the red tomatoes and green basil, you betcha.

They did dig it up

Not too soon after I marveled how the neighborhood construction had somehow managed to leave unscathed the pretty Salina Town Offices front gardens, my cherished rescue mutt Ellie B and I met with a disappointing sight.

Full effect out front

It’s the time of the season when the front yard garden fills up and widens out. I stop and admire it to and from my car on work days at the library. Nice!

Hello to our new fairy garden
