About countrylane

Ever-learning gardener/mother of three healthy and active boys. My idea of fun is getting my hands in the dirt and planting, landscaping, etc. I love the idea of sharing seeds and plants with others. I have been thinking about doing some "lasagna gardening". I do plant veggies along with many flowers. I used to plant veggies the conventional way with a big plot of land all tilled and hoed, but with the kids and other things to do, I plant my veggies in with the flowers and herbs. I am also getting interested in planting heirloom varieties of veggies and pumpkins/watermelons. God blessed me with a gardening mom and a grandmother who also instilled a love of plants in me. I am always drawn to other's gardens and always trying new and different things in our yard.

choosing seeds, not such an easy job

Loaded up at the library
The kids and I went to the library today before grocery shopping. Each of us picked out some book that we wanted to look at. I got some books on Indian burial grounds (have a hunch we live on one), a slow cooker recipe book, an herb book, and a veggi...

Wish-lists and Would-likes
Had a great morning at church. Heard good Sunday school message and morning message! Hubby and I traded off going, due to one of the kids has a cold and we didn't want to pass it around. I haven't been on here for awhile and am glad to get back on. S...
