About My Edible Backyard


Why Dimity Cottage1 Love's Edible Plants

 I love growing edible plants because I know that I have only used Certified Organic Fertilizers and Sprays etc. The flavour of Home Grown is always better with a lot more depth. Also it is good for you to get out into the garden, good for your health and Mind.
