Gardengirl1204 - aka Jeannine. I'm 43, married 11 yrs to the most patient man alive! Have 2 beautiful children - Savannah 9 (going on 19!) and Walker 7. I think I got my gardening gene from my Grandfather who was the neighborhood green-thumb, although the first plants to peek my interest were Hollyhocks and Foxgloves. I am a nut for the cottage garden/English Garden style of gardening. I made an English style garden in my back yard with white picket fence and an arbor my DH built me. I have raised beds for veggies and flowers.

I work full time in the financial world and my gardening is my therapy! I've been a Master Gardener for a year now and love it! I volunteer when I can some weekends.

In addition to gardening, I cross stitch, mosaic, make soap and am learning to quilt. I love baseball - go Orioles! and Indy racing - go Dario!

Future goals: to win the lottery (you have to play though, right?), build houses in Jackson Hole Wy, New England and St John, USVI. landscape it all with whatever I want - no matter the price and then lay in the hammock and watch it all grow - only for a second though, cause I know there's got to be something out there that needs to be moved or re-dug, or something like that!

We have an 11 yr old Golden Retriever - Hobbes and 2 new guinea pigs - Clover & Reggie (both girls, thank God!) that of course, I'm taking care of! WHEW!!!

Well CaptMicha, great thread - thank you!
