ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by to the Garden Fair!
This reminds me of a children's song... "Why don't you play with me.. into the rain barrel, outside my cellar door.... " something, something, something.. Never made much sense to me as a kid... But YOUR production FARMING system jogged something loose! SUCH a green family, you guys are!
ReplyDeleteGreat garden and fantastic DIY rain barrels! We're looking into implementing those too. So good to be getting your kids involved in the process. :) Pam @ Sallygoodin
