Guerilla Gardening
Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do, especially in the city. Plus, you get strawberries. ~~ Ron Finley Hello all! In honor of Mother’s Day, I spent the weekend planting a crazy organic garden, playing in the dirt. I planted about 60 or so cucumbers, aka Pickle Seeds.
