I am a home gardener and I enjoy it immensely! I have only been gardening for the past seven years. I have learned a lot by reading and by trial and error. I have had a great time adding to the perennials in my yard and adding different annuals every year .I also began composting early on because the soil here is very ,very sandy. Composting has made a huge difference and has saved me a lot of money . I love growing tomatoes , herbs and flowers . I am semi retired and work part time as a Licensed Nurses Aide in a local Rehab and Nursing home. I have a little dog named Jonah and my roommate and friend has a dog a cat and 2 bunnies. I am also a Mother,Grandmother,and Great grandma. I really like getting information and advice from other gardeners.
