About me: I’m 40, married to the same wonderful man for 22 years come January 19, 2007 and I have two great sons, 15 and 17. 2 dogs and a cat also reside with us.
Our home is in a development out in the middle of nowhere. Our nearest town is about 10 miles away so not too bad.
Our home sits on a .67 acre lot. While my hubby and sons do help with mowing and weed whacking, for the most part all flowers, fruits and veggies are tended by me.
I am shooting for the cottage garden look. Maybe some day I’ll fully succeed. But what is the fun in that? I wouldn’t have anything more to shoot for....to strive for;)
I’d love to communicate with other gardeners so feel free to email me.

My zone is: Camden 7b/8a
