Spiral Farm
Mandala Garden December 2006.
Finally the garden is perfect!
Covered with snow,
nothing else to do for now!
Enjoying it!
Actually there are many carrots, leeks & kale hiding under the snow
and the heavy mulch of hay that was put on the beds before the snow. We just
made a tasty soup with all those great fresh veggies a few days ago!
Best Wishes to everyone during the Winter season!
