My goal a few months ago was to create a tower of bamboo that was tangled with snow pea vines. When it grew, I imagined I could have fun picking and foraging within for snow peas when the plants started to fruit. This is the result and I am so happy with how it has […]
Read more "Snow Pea Tower"Spring is a time of great renewal in the garden. It is a time when dormant plants start to burst into life – growing rapidly as they seek energy from the warm rays of the sun.
