On my walk through the garden this morning, I sure don't feel like an inspiration . . . so many things I would have liked to do differently but the past months of remodeling didn't leave me enough time for the garden planning I wanted/needed. The nice thing about the chive blossoms is that they stay blooming so very long. Love 'em!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-9754534146486728322012-06-15T11:05:06.598-05:002012-06-15T11:05:06.598-05:00So true about chives - I haven't even used any...So true about chives - I haven't even used any this year yet LOL but I love having them in the garden :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-91541637464369211732012-06-14T07:29:39.426-05:002012-06-14T07:29:39.426-05:00Hey Mama Pea!
