About Me:
I am always intrested in new ideas for my gardens. I don't plant many vegetables, but do mix a few herbs and vegetables among my flowers.
Favorite area of home improvement:
My gardens are always my favorite place to improve. The next project is to use our new metal carport for a backyard shelter for lawn furniture, bbq's, trellis for Bugle Vine and a small potting area. The carport is double wide and will be delivered in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to starting this project, most of it in the Fall.
