  4. So ambitious yet the winter reward is priceless. Our wildflowers are barely showing but with all the snow melt should put on a good show next month. I think that sheep is squinting at you. ;)

    1. Very ambitious but I doubt if they will last until winter!! The figs and plums I did last year were eaten well withing two months of them being done, too easy to snack on. At least I do not have to worry about them going off if I have not dehydrated enough!!!!! I also think that sheep has a squint LOL. Our wild flowers (and weeds) have taken off with the hot spell we have just had. Have a good day Diane
