The Chronicles of a French Gardener --- Part 4

My plants are growing as expected, but because of the sun angle, they are started to lean and twist.

To help them stay straight, I used skewers.

I looked out my window yesterday and spotted something near where my garden will grow this summer.

I think he was doing a reconnaissance survey to see if he will be able to get to my vegetables this summer.

Good luck bunny!

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions.
