ReplyDeleteSo many great new things to see . thanks
I won't wait so long next time to get the catalog. This would be a great starter kit for me. Love that Burlap bag also. Your tomatoes look great.Next year I'm definitely going to start a veggie garden.

i hadn't heard about Bakers. I will have to look into it.
ReplyDeleteMy garden spot is tilled but then the weather went from sunny to snow.
my kids love to garden, i love this!
ReplyDeleteI tried a garden in pots last year, some of them grew but others got attacked by a horn worm. Might have to do the garden thing in an area in the ground this year, I know plants grow better in the ground. I never heard of this brand but will look for it
