Hi everyone. I love gardening. Spring is my favorite time of the year. Hubby and I bought some land with a house and a pond about 5 years ago. We got it all paid off in 3 years! Now I am trying to make it just one big garden. I keep telling hubby, thats just less for us to mow. I am really looking forward to the Plant and Seed Exchange.
Cathy

Welcome to the Stew from mid-Norway!  Your property sounds very nice, please post some photos once you get settled in here, won't you? My husband prefers borders to lawn, so we expand a bit every year. Go, go, go!

Welcome from coastal Carolina! You'll find us an enthusiatic group and I agree - borders are much nicer than boring old grass!

Hi Cathy, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
Wow, paid off in three years, that's fantastic.
We would love to see pictures of where the gardening is going to take place and progress pictures too of course.

Hello and Welcome Cathy from the Norwegian Arctic. Having land to play with and do what you want with is a good feeling. So i hope you show us all you have done or plan to do...
