Wait….Did She Say 9 inch row….?
It was brought to my attention that I stated I finished a 9 inch row in my last blog - which to some may have seemed odd - 9 inches is a rather short row after all, what is there to celebrate!? When I say a 9 inch row, or a 12 inch row, it …

Lowering My Expectations…
Not looking promising I'm so embarrassed to say this...but I was suckered into thinking I could actually grow beautiful tulips. I bought it all, hook, line and sinker - swallowed it whole!!
