Samrrah’s thoughts on her garden:
“Every garden is different, but each one is a joy. Do what you feel works, do what makes you feel good. Minimize the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Irrigate only when needed and in a responsible manner. Drip irrigation works wonders and saves hundreds of gallons of water and dollars per year.”
