Hi,
My DH and I moved to Mount Bethel, PA 4 years ago from Harrington Park, NJ, We had had enough of the rat race in that area and decided that we would spend our 70's in a completely different ambiance. Now we are relocated city people finding out what we have been missing all these years. They quiet farmland area that we moved to has given us plenty of room to dig and plant and watch the sunsets from our deck. We have enough room in our new home to put up our relatives and friends who visit us often to enjoy the country atmosphere.
We have 4 children and 7 grandsons (who will be visiting us next week because of school being closed for the holiday).
When we moved here the house was surrounded by a huge flat expanse of mud that would quickly turn into weeds if we didn't hurry to do something about it. Of course we quickly covered it with lawn seed, put in some trees, and , thanks to my finding DG, I had all the information to confidently start planning gardens all over the place. My DH told me that the new bed that we put in last year would be the last one because I can't work as long and as quickly as I used to. He's right of course, so I'll just have to overstuff the beds with all the new stuff that I want.
