Hi Kitty...WTG on Farmer of the Day. I hope all is well out there and that the bees are doing good. I have a friend in Los Altos and he says his bees have been real busy as of late...

Hrm.. Weird. For some reason the system is adding a dash into the web address. Remove it and try again.

Sorry but I couldn't get your link to work. I too have a desire to go vertical to conserve space. I'm still learning just to accomplish that.

Have a great gardening day.

Actually, it's not a big garden at all. I've just gotten very good at squeezing as much as possible out of every square inch of my property. Going verticle helps. You can link to pictures and videos from my website at:
