About fairygarden
I have had my present garden for about 3 years and this year will be the best yet. I have a lot of herbs and perennials coming back. I love to start plants from seed. I love a lot of color in my yard. I enjoy watching the birds and squirrels play and eat. Last year was challenging because of the heat and lack of rain. My other hobbies include crafting, sewing and reading.
Fortunately, my husband also shares my love of the outdoors and in my opinion, we make a great team. He also helps me with my blog and pixs.
