In January or February, a gardening chore is to trim back the muscadine grape vines. Last few years, I simply threw them into the compost after shredding them.
This year, I decided to do something creative. Wreaths are so expensive, and I am not a fan of blowing money on decorations. Much of what I decorate my front porch area with are things that come from my property. Summer, it’s covered in…
