Shelly's Garden: Shopping in My Own Backyard

La vie est belle dans notre jardin!  I don't have a green thumb, however due to the hot summers and mild winters in the south of France, plants, trees, shrubs, etc. have a way of growing on its own.  The previous owner of our home planted a lot of stuff, so we are lucky to find wonderful surprises from our humble little garden.  Not only do we get fresh items from the garden, but it's all organic and chemical free - hallelujah! - we've got enough pollution and junk in this world.

I have been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing
on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
