LOVE IS...

when your husband comes home from work and lugs dirt into your potager without you even asking.

Well said. I need to show your post to my husband.

I showed your post to him and he BLUSHED! Because today, when I was digging he was watching basketball. Thank you, sister!

It's really shaping up, Ellen. I'm looking forward to eating some of those greens and lettuces,not to mention the other veggies. Love, Mom

That's a beautiful area! I tried to click to see if it would enlarge, but it didn't. How big is the area? It looks like you had a lot of seeds there.

My husband took our grandson to my parents' Saturday afternoon so I could garden, and on the way back, filled my gas tank.

They can do nice things sometimes!

I can't tell you how impressed I am with your potager! I have one that is the lazy, cheap cousin of yours. Yours will be gorgeous.

Speaking as a husband, we'd do anything for our wives that gets us what we want. That being, their undying respect, of course.

What, you didn't think he cared? ;)
(Yes, he's a sweet hubs) :)
Your potager is turning out beautifully, Em. That's quite an enthusiastic project.
We thawed out today with beautiful sunshine and warm temps.
I worked at the nursery this morning and then in my garden this afternoon.
Sheer bliss!
