Okay everyone, I’m pretty sure Pablo is a rooster, but after 16 weeks he still has not made any crowing sounds or behaved in an ungentlemanly like manner.

Last night I sat down and sorted all the seeds I intend to grow in my 2013 garden. It took me about 2 hours. Thanks to my hottie of a horticulturalist boyfriend Ryan, I will be sowing tons and tons of Botanical Interests seeds in my garden this year.
