Out of the Office

Posted by jOi-C in green thumb

Dear Garden Fairy,

We’ve been waiting over a year for you to sprinkle pixie dust and work your magic on our little garden. Maybe you forgot to send us your ‘Out of the Office’ memo? Oh and I’m no garden fairy but I don’t think veggies grow on concrete without soil. ;)

Love,
Me

PS. For now, we’ve settled for our own make shift indoor and outdoor mini-produce section….and when I say ‘mini’, I really do mean mini…I do hope the cherry tomato plant doesn’t die before it grows anything.

PPS. Does the Topsy Turvy really work??
