and thoughts have turned to growing things. Last year we were just thinking about moving and stuff. Now that we’ve been in our house for almost a year, I’m going to start considering two major projects: re-doing the back yard and building some sort of garden on our upstairs balcony. Meg Hourihan posted a book recommendation yesterday that will help me with upstairs, where I want to plant herbs and maybe a few tomato plants. Any other recommendations will be greatly appreciated!
