 Gardening since 1953
|
I have gardened since I was a young child. My favorite time of year was Spring when it was time to till and plant the garden. I even gardened in the tropics in Brazil - no harder place on earth to garden than there. My husband and I went to Brazil in 1974 as missionaries and returned to live in Texas in 2003. I love trying new things as I garden. You can see some of the other things we do by clicking this link to Cypress Lake Ranch.
