Especially when it’s hard for me to do something, but I need to plant, cut, etc., I remember you, Friko and your words that as long as you can do something, you don’t give up. Yes, it's hard when helpers don't come. I hope your garden will shine in June.Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-21830636731852569302023-03-30T02:27:14.390+01:002023-03-30T02:27:14.390+01:00What a great preview to spring coming to my part o...What a great preview to spring coming to my part of the world.
