About kohoutjm
My husband and I bought our first house in Nov. 2005. Since then I have been documenting and observing our yard. I have started a vegetable garden, compost pile, and added on to existing perennial beds in the yard. I nearly killed the roses, and the bunnies have had their way with the Autumn Sedum Stonecrop. Last year my husband and I also had our first child, she is such a doll, very contemplative about everything/one she sees. She takes up a majority of my time when I am home, but I can't wait to teach her about the earth. She enjoys being outside and I hope that she will share my love of gardening one day.

April showers make my work easier
Yesterday was a great day for putting in the new shade garden. Most people don't care for the cloudy, misty day that we had, but the weather was perfect for planting up the new area. Even though it was cloudy and rainy it was still 65-70ยบ outside. So...
