About Me:
Love love gardenning and creating beautiful flower beds with sculptered evergreens, spiral, bonsai looking, boxwood, bird baths and bird feeders, stone edges and clean lines.
Favorite area of home improvement:
My yard and plan on putting an addition to the kitchen with alot of windows so that I can enjoy the scenery in the back yard with coffee in the morning.

My goldfish pond! It has given us such an enjoyment to sit by everyday. We have 30 goldfish that are now 6 years old! They are getting quite big and beautiful and very soothing to watch.
Gardening: Evergreen Screen for privacy.
We are in the process of planning the evergreen screen for the backyard of our home. Right now it is very open and very large. In the future we will put the deck and possibly the pool, but want to start the screen asap. Any recommendations on the selection of the plants and any other provisions to keep in mind would be appreciated. You can see on the photo that the messy neighbors and always hungry deers are both serious issues for us.
