May 2013
Greetings!  
It finally, officially SPRING!

I personally cannot wait until it is warm enough to put my feet up and sit outside. Although, before I get to sit back and relax, I must clean the garden. I'm sure most of you are in the same boat as me so here's a link to our gardening books in case you need any guidance.  Don't forget to stop by our Plant and Tag Sale on May 18. The Millerton Nursery will be there, as well as our Friends selling donated plants.
