    Hi everyone. I love gardening. Spring is my favorite time of the year. Hubby and I bought some land with a house and a pond about 5 years ago. We got it all paid off in 3 years! Now I am trying to make it just one big garden. I keep telling hubby, thats just less for us to mow. I am really looking forward to the Plant and Seed Exchange.

    Welcome to the Stew from mid-Norway! :stew2: Your property sounds very nice, please post some photos once you get settled in here, won't you? My husband prefers borders to lawn, so we expand a bit every year. Go, go, go!

    Hi Cathy, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
    Wow, paid off in three years, that's fantastic.
    We would love to see pictures of where the gardening is going to take place and progress pictures too of course.
