Favorite Plants: If it grows ..... It's my favorite

Biography: Moved into my daughter and families newly purchased home in spring of 2008. I live in the 1 bedrm. & 2 bath walkout basement apartment. I have full responsibility of the grounds. Started gardening here on soil that had been used as a parking lot by past owners / renters, so its compacted no grass. Do have growing all weeds and millions upon millions of wild violets. I love big full beds and paths. 1st project was new 15' x 6' raised bed. 2nd project was new 31' x 30' terraced bed. In between was hunt and bring in rocks from small round to small bolders. Gardening only stops for family emergencies and Grandkids. Since retiring and selling my home I traveled in my Motor Home for 3 years. Gas prices put an end to that life style. So here I am in TN. starting my Gardening all over.

Interests: Spring = Gardening Summer = Gardening Fall = Gardening Winter = Family Genology Tree Year Round = Grandkids

Location: zone 6b, TN
