I believe Benjamin has worked with me for 20 years not 15. He cried when I sold the farm, and so did I. He loved working in the gardens with me and he has always loved the digging part. He still digs the holes, and I fill it up with a plant!Meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512116319930586068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024391508913357750.post-21213528799988560402013-02-27T10:30:12.291-06:002013-02-27T10:30:12.291-06:00I love the pink Dianthus ..
