About ilene
I live with my wonderful husband and our 2 "babies". Louie who is a male part Russian blue and his sister Mickey who is a domestic short-hair, grey and white.
I love to garden and love the results even more.
I have been vegetable gardening for 15 years and slowly have gotten into perennials and just recently re-landscaped my front yard, by myself!
After speaking some some great people, on this site, and doing a little research here, I learned about mulch and the use of it. What a great effect!
