Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Plants are one of my weaknesses - I can always create an excuse to purchase a new plant, there's always room somewhere. Today I went to Nick's Garden Center and got myself a few goodies - some plants to put in Pippin's catio so he'll have more fun in there and my first ever vegetable/herb…
