Welcome, Kate! I loved the description of your back yard. I live in the country, but it sounds alot better than mine right now. If I had to describe my yard in Missouri in August.....brown grass, tons of weeds in any flower beds or gardens that aren't mulched very thick, colorful thistles getting ready to spread their seed everywhere. Chickens eating what good things are left in my garden, dogs chasing the ducks and kittens..... Does it sound like the 100 degree heat & humidity is getting to me! I absolutely love TN, I have family there and if there was any place on earth I would be besides MO where my immediate family is, it is Tennessee.
Welcome!

Holly,
Thanks for the welcome.
I can relate to the reality of an out-of-control yard.
I guess mine is easier because it is so small. We had a large area to manage on one of our previous little farms and I couldn't keep up
Small -simple - and low maintenance is my motto.
100 degrees there too huh?
That's our Memphis forcast too. The heat index today is supposed to be between 103 and 107. It's like stepping out into an oven here in the city with all the concrete and asphalt.
But at least we've been able to enjoy the nice cool night time low temps of 80 degrees. Ha Ha.
Where is your family in Tennessee? I know there are beautiful areas in our state - my area is just not one of them.
Bye now

Sorry to be so late about welcoming you to the forum. I see that you are my neighbor(well you are only about 1 1/2 hrs away from me.) I can see already that you are fitting in. I know you are going to bring some wonderful advice to us.

Hey Laura down in Pontotoc. Thanks for the welcome.
Kinda hot ain't it!
106 here in Memphis today -how about there?
Just got an email from my hubby who is on the island of Fiji. He said Memphis made the BBC news on TV there in Fiji (I think that is the only news station they get there in Fiji) for the HEAT wave and the 30 year Elvis celebration. We're famous!
I don't know Pontotoc well but my husband does. He used to travel throgh all the time when he has a sales route for automotive batteries.
Do you have a farm?
Look forward to getting to know you.
