About Batnavel
I am 38 years old,..... but I look about 28, so if you bump into me on the street, dont be surprised!! I just started my garden last year. Our property is divide by a garage, and the back lot had remnants of a very old building foundation, that had turned into a stick pile, and debris dump. I love to create, and gardening is in my blood, as my dad was a master gardener. My dad died when I was just 12 years old, and my work in this garden now is partially a tribute to him. My goal is to become half the gardener my father was. I think I have some of the gardening basics down, and have been reading up on all sorts of stuff over the winter. I love to look at others photos, and to post my own, and in other venues have been known to blog, so I am sure garden blogging will come too. I CANT WAIT FOR THE 08 GARDENING SEASON TO BEGIN IN ZONE 6.
Oh, and I LOVE to find clearance deals on garden stuff. You wouldnt believe the stuff I got from LOWES this past year.
Oh, and I have a beautiful wife, that was upset because I didnt mention her, or put her pictures up. So here is the mention, and a photo or two will soon follow.
