Hammertown Garden: A Rock and a Hard Place

coupon iconMost of us have that spot in the garden where nothing seems to grow. Whether it's too shady , too sunny or just really bad soil, a native plant might do the trick.

This Week's Recipe:  Breakfast Casserole

This past Sunday, Bonnie Hundt (my "hairapy" source) and I hosted a fundraiser brunch for State Senate Candidate, Didi Barrett, in the Gatehouse.  (Didi also happens to be a loyal Hammertown customer so I was happy to offer our Gatehouse space for the event.)  Bonnie decided to make the Breakfast Casserole recipe that she got right here on our website for the event and everyone just loved.  Get it here...
