Hello Fellow Gardeners,
I actually have been posting for about a week now and did not see this forum.

My husband and I live in NC and are empty nesters, Whoooohooooo!

We are both from burbs or cities and this is our first time gardening on the scale that we are. 5 years ago we bought a 1940 farm house here in NC and have 4.5 acres. We mostly grow veggies, but this year I am venturing into flowers big time. Don built me an 8x12 greenhouse last month and I am having a blast using that. Starting most of my veggies and lots of flowers. We have a 1 acre veggie garden but 1/2 of that will be a vineyard next Spring.

We are also getting chickens in a couple months and Don has discovered Antique David Bradley walk behind tractors, we have 2. One that we use in the garden and one Don is restoring.

We have 2 dogs and love being farmers.

Hope to meet lots of you and share our experiences.

Susan
