We will ONLY post on Instagram (@plantgrowshare), Twitter(@plyndrt) and Facebook(Darnell Stewart) and playndirt.com@gmail.com . So we encourage you to keep up to date with our activities by connecting with us via one of the above mentioned social media platforms.

DarDan gardens

Fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice. I will use it to make lemonade and the rest I will freeze for later. I just picked up a Purple Tomatillo and a Pink Lemonade Blueberry plant.
