About palmettogal

I don't garden nearly as much as I read about gardening. A vegetable garden each year is the biggest thing I do, but other than that I mostly just have this here and that there when it comes to flowers...most often shared plants from friends and family. I love hostas but don't have enough shade yet. I've killed confederate jasmine more times than I can count (unheard of in the South!). I deep-sixed my tulips. My roses have black spot. I hope to see at least one pecan hit the ground before I die. Still...I'd rather have dirt between my toes and under my nails any day of the week!!!

April Showers, May rains, June storms
