🌿 🌿 DRY AND HAPPY FOR THE HOLIDAYS



Hope this harvest season has been good to you.
A bounty of fresh seeds has been collected
around this island
of Shaw for the Gatehouse shed.
The packets have been moved into screwcap jars for
protection from moisture.
There are herbs and a selection
of flower seed packages at the roadside shed for
late autumn or early spring broadcasting.
The handmade packets are green thoughts
for stocking stuffers in December.
Happy Holidays.
