    Hi Debbie, welcome to the Stew from north Texas

    Three big lots to garden on???? Has anyone done any gardening on them before you bought them? Such a large, blank canvas for garden creating, the envy of gardeners everywhere.
    I am looking forward to the butterfly garden pictures and of course pictures of your gardening area too. We love pictures.

    My yard in Central Illinois

    No one has really had gardens like I'm planning but the lot on the west side of the house was owned by a family that ran a flower shop. It has a ton of peonies. My son absolutely hates to mow over there in the spring.

    Here is the link to the beginnings of my school website and there are not many pics of the butterfly garden yet but there will be more soon.

    Hope you will enjoy the pictures.

    Debbie :p
