Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Create a Gnome Garden in a Basket
I belong to a group of great bloggers called The Garden Charmers. Occasionally, we are challenged to create a post to be included in a board. Melissa, Empress of Dirt, sent out a call for fairy gardens, and fairy themed posts. I have never been a fairy person, but I do collect gnomes which I…
