Pass-A-Long Plants
Pass-A-Long Plants
I plant seeds and trade plants. Many of my plants came from my grandmother’s old home in Arkansas. I’m growing okra in the front yard. My garden’s goal is to spend very little on the garden, seeds only. I’ve added a “Free Little Plant” Stand, As an artist and t-shirt designer, I love to add found objects to my garden, both front and back. I also raise chickens and love my rescue dogs.
