Family I have been happily married for 9 years and counting!! I have 3 beautiful children. We are happy to be working our land on our own. We are also excited about all the new varieties of fruits and veggies we can grow on our land.
About Me I stay at home and enjoy every minute of it! But my work does not stop there. I also maintain the garden and fruits. I plan all the planting and yard keep up. Which is why I like the no lawn method of gardening!
Interests I enjoy gardening, horticulture and enjoy low budget scrap booking. I am interested in composting and organic gardening. We used no fertilizer last year and had a great harvest.
