About southeastsandy
I am divorced, I have a 32 year old married daughter and I live in Tallahassee, FL. I was primary caregiver for my Mother for the last 5 years until she passed away last fall. I bought my first home late in 2007 and I am still getting settled. The deck and the fence are now built so the next projects will be sprucing up the yards. I have the front yard, the side yard and the back yard, they are all kind of small but big enough to put some color and interest in. I have lots of ideas for gardens and plants that I want to put into the sandy soil around my home, I just have to find the time and money to do it. I love cactus (I have prickly pear, a Florida native, and agave) and I love rocks and pavers. I'm looking forward to see what I can do with my yards over the next 10 years.

I posted pictures in my photo album.
I took photos tonight of the plants I placed in the last few weeks and the pavers I finished. There is still a lot of work to do but I am very happy with the projects I have finished. I will not do anymore planting this year. I will take it easy t...
The end of a very productive weekend.
I got a lot done this weekend, but not as much as I wanted to do. I did get my version of a rock garden done. That took awhile because I kept running out of mexican beach rock. I didn't realize it would take 53 bags to fill in that space. I had t...
