I also live in Central CT and also work in accounting. I have been landscaping (and RE-landscaping) my 1/2 acre property for about 20 years now. I just love it. It is inspiring to see what other gardeners have done; especially one with the same growing conditions. I look forward to seeing your progress. -MaryM.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13166251508325606107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503500621849621556.post-61782159123184562872017-07-05T09:39:21.999-04:002017-07-05T09:39:21.999-04:00How exciting to create a new garden!
