<h2>About</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
On this page, you'll find an overview of what I'm growing in my garden, periodic updates when changes are made, or other details.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you'd like to leave feedback about the garden, or to request seeds, cuttings, please do contact me via the info on my <a href="contact.html">contact page</a>. I generally try to keep a supply of seeds for as many of my plants as possible, but as always, it depends.
