I make little notes when wandering around the garden to remember what is next in line to look after. I like the concrete markers you have made. Could you perhaps make a post how you have done them and what sort of concrete, colours etc you used?Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-14872367552748806802008-10-01T16:11:00.000-05:002008-10-01T16:11:00.000-05:00Well, I just trimmed bushes and trees this morning...Well, I just trimmed bushes and trees this morning.
