New Year, New Seeds, New Garden
A New Mask! The end of 2020 could not come soon enough! I bought a new mask for the end of the year holidays; I survived the year; my gardens survived the drought.

Goal 2 : Create solutions and opportunities by building a rain garden to capture storm-water and create new habitats for water-tolerant plants and insects! Goal 3 : Learn to adapt by putting drought-tolerant species in full-sun areas and moving others that required excessive watering during last year's drought to a part-sun garden that I expanded in the fall!
