    Hi from the sunny South. Hubby and I live in the country on 5 acres, surrounded by oak trees and wildlife, and we absolutely love it! Our yard was brand new, so I had the pleasure of planning every plant in every nook and cranny. The only problem I had was making up my mind because I love so many plants, and I wanted them all! ha ha!
    I'm excited to be part of Garden Stew and look forward to meeting people who share my love of gardening. Happy Spring Fever everyone!

    Oh you are lucky Sharon to have all that space to play in!! I'm not a materialistic person by any means but I have one downfall - plants!!! :rolleyes: If I ran a garden centre I'd never make a profit as I'd just have to keep them all to myself. :rolleyes:

    WELCOME to GardenStew from Scotland. :stew2:

    Hi Sharon, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas.
    I don't know that I could handle gardening 5 acres but it would be fun trying. Please share some photos of your gardens
