About TnTom

Just retired a year and a half ago and have been enjoying the gardening experience since then . My wife and I live in middle Tennessee and enjoy the mild winters and beautiful summers.I own and operate a small gunsmithing business and enjoy target shooting in organized matches but don't really hunt much any more. I love to fish, spin, cast, and fly fish and enjoy tying flies. My wife is a very crafty person who creates beautiful cross stitchings, embroidery and quilts. She loves to help in the yard and is a fabulous cook.This is our second garden and really are having a great time watching it all come together and seeing what works and what not to do next time like under compensating for those aggressive vines. We watched the deer last night as they seem to now have the scent of the garden. We'll see how long it takes them to realize the fence is only a simple hop to some fine grazing.

The One That Got Away
