About me: Hi to everyone,
I just recently bought a house in Knoxville with a long backyard. I won't be moving there until mid-July, but I am already fantasizing about the hours and hours I will spend in my garden. I am a plant-a-holic. Yes, indeedy I am. When I had a house in Florida, I was married to a man that liked lawn and orderly rectangular beds. He kept complaining about my undulating, always changing little islands of blossoms. I used to have to sneak plants in after he went to sleep--haha! Well that didn't work out, but now I have a house again and I intend to simply go wild.
My first desire is to have a vegetable garden, then a moongarden, then a koi pond. Considering that I have no money and lots of grandiose ideas, I suppose I will have to be patient.

My zone is: northknoxville
