Bill and Anne live in south Atlanta in an old warehouse/machine shop turned into our home. We are retired investors enjoying our gardening. We have about 2 1/2 acres of land that we reclaimed from Kudzu. Now it is mostly grass and a small garden with tomatoes just beginning to bear.

In our front yard we planted Bradford pears that now tower above our 19 foot high brick outer walls. Evergreen clematis, Confederate jasmine and trumpet vines scale our walls. Giant green arbor vitae ring our property.

About three years ago we planted Chablis and Mars seedless grapes. We have not pruned them though we have kept them weeded and healthy. Just joined here to find out more about keeping grapes and found that we need to prune in late fall/early winter.

Most of our land is full sun. We would like to initiate building some formal gardens and more fruit and vegetables.

Would like to network with others both online and in our area. Here is a picture of the front of our home taken about 3 years ago.
