Shelves and Seeds

You might remember a couple of weeks ago I bought a shelf for the garage to get things off the floor.  Another reason I bought it is to be able to park my car in the garage during hurricanes and hail storms.  Like most people in the South, my car is normally parked in the driveway.  People use their garages down here for -among other things - a man cave.  It's not uncommon to see big screen TVs and a kegger sit in a garage when you pass by.  The door is wide open and the men are hooting it up while watching sports on the TV.

Stay safe.

  2. Thanks for the idea. When the fall crop comes out I will use the pods. In soup? Will that work as well?
