This week, Farmer Bill boarded a red-eye to the Windy City for the Independent Garden Center Conference. His first investment of the trip was a mini hay baler -- this little guy (which conveniently matches Bill's signature green-and-gold) will bale small batches of hay, giving you the perfect amount for your hens, your small garden, or even as a cute centerpiece to a fall table.
We also found this clever idea: carving out the center plank of a picnic table and planting in the space: think herbs and edible flowers!
