Merry Meet Again

Well its a few days before Christmas and i am updating my blog. I have found my list of spuds that i wanted to grow next year and i still have to put my order for Jan, Feb, March to Defland nurseries too. Still not sure completely what i want to grow :S. Need to re-read my veg book! Looking forward to next year, lots of learning, lots of growing and lots of fun. I hope that i grow, mentally, and spiritually and I really hope we fall pregnant.

So to all Have a Merry Christmas and a Fabulous New Year, hope that 2009 brings you all that you wish for xx
