    Thank you for adding me. I am looking forward to sharing and learning about what I enjoy. Even with the poor sandy soil, hot humid summers, and low budget, I have managed to grow a few things on my 1 and 1/2 acres of heaven.
    My biggest project now is digging a 12 x12 foot pond about 18 inches deep for a surround garden and aquatic garden. Planning a water feature to regulate water flow.
    My other love is my 2011 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, oh and my hubby.

      welcome to the group. Where in central Florida are you. We travel to Key West yearly. Been around Florida, Fort Myers, and Orlando, Daytona, did the St Johns river on a houseboat, Fort Lauderdale, St Augistine, the Everglades. But for the most part love the Keys the best. Live in Southeast PA. Have to get back down to Orlando this year, for the expanded Harry Potter world.
