It always pays to think ahead and be prepared. My oldest daughter lives in McKinney TX (part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex) and she has a small container garden. Her husband is crazy for hot, hot, hot peppers and that is part of what she is raising.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.com
