This time of year is such a time of hope and promise and waiting. I remember knowing that even in the spring of 2008 when somehow knowing there was hope even if I didn't quite have it was enough.

I found the milk jug thing on Pinterest last year and saved milk jugs but never got to planting. I can't call it a success yet, but it's a cool start.
ReplyDeleteAnd let me know if you want rhubarb recipes. I have a rhubarb pork sauce that is really yummy (also try it with raspberries instead of strawberries in pie).
