We are happy to announce that I will soon have a new helper in the garden shortly with the birth of our 3rd daughter Mia. Just thought I would warn you in case my posts begin to get a little extra incoherent, I am not losing it, just sleep deprived.
Currently in the grow box I have some basil and more recently strawberries added as I was “weeding” my garden I found a bunch more starts.

After some research on the reel mowers on the market I finally ended up…
