How Does your garden grow?

This is my entry for Friday Sketchers, oh I just loved this sketch by Mumur, and I will be using it again. Well I'm loaded with cold, but well enough to make cards lol, only just. I hope I don't feel as bad as this tomorrow as I start my new job. I'm still working for the same company, but in a different department as an administrator, totally different from what I've been doing. So I'm nervous and wish I wasn't full of cold, never mind.
