Michelle is like me. I love gardening. I have such beautiful flowers, jasmine, impatients, azaleas, lavender, snapdragons and yellow and hot pink roses, red geraniums, wild flowers, cactus, periwinkle.

During the spring and early summer, I plant cucumber, tomatoes, green beans, onions, squash, strawberries, herbs such as chives, and basil.
