About Gwen

Newbie gardener here. We just bought a house last summer, too late to start a garden, so this year is our first. It's Derek Party of 4 in our house with me, my boyfriend, my son who's 9 and his 8 year old son. Santa delivered two puppies at Christmas which are now 8 months old. Full house and a full garden keep me very busy. I love being outside and when its raining we have a sunroom that is our favorite room in the house! We eat, play games and even sleep out there. The boys love it.
