I'm expecting that mulching season will be early this year.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-9432657735410317072016-12-25T16:09:32.827-08:002016-12-25T16:09:32.827-08:00Thank you Gerhard !

The garden looks huge here but I vaguely recall reading elsewhere that it's not. I remember seeing the bowling ball mulch in other reports but not the potted bowling balls arranged along what I'm guessing is a stairway - simple but clever!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469171193186241773.post-68619719615406438662016-12-23T16:13:06.384-08:002016-12-23T16:13:06.384-08:00You can buy pieces of her work there at the garden...You can buy pieces of her work there at the garden Alison, some of the smaller things are pretty reasonably priced.
