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.

Tractor Pulls!

An evening reflection
It's been awhile since I've been on. I had trouble getting on this site for some reason, but now I am on again. I was beginning to miss getting on GG. I wanted to tell about the evening that I had outside a few evenings ago. It was a beautiful day! B...
