WELCOME TO A TRAVELERS GARDEN
We are travelers, we travel for a living, we go where and when work takes us.
But I still like to garden, so this is how things go and maybe how things look for someone who is not there to tend the garden on a regular basis.
We live on a city lot, about one third of an acre and the garden is in our back yard.
I started gardening in 2010 as a way to have less yard to mow. Each year I have enlarged the garden and will again this year.
