God Made a Farmer - Awesome Video

Please visit and like my new facebook page Georgia Home Garden.

I don't know how I missed this during the Superbowl, but it gave me chills when I saw it during the CMA's tonight.  Farmer's are some of the hardest working people in our country, and I appreciate all the hard work they provide to put food on our tables.

It's Official, I'm Back Baby, I'm Back!!!

Please visit and like my new facebook page Georgia Home Garden.



We have sold the house, it's official!  I can hardly believe it, but Georgia Home Garden 1.0 is no longer ours.  Twelve years, one marriage, two kids and more DIY projects then I can count, I have so many memories of that house.

I can't wait to start back blogging regularly about the new garden and all that I have been working on.  Since I am a Seinfeld fanatic, George Costanza said it best: I'M BACK BABY, I'M BACK!

Deja Vu - Georgia Home Garden Under Contract Again

Please visit and like my new facebook page Georgia Home Garden.

Wow, I have not blogged since January 15th, that is almost six weeks ago.  I can't believe how fast the time is flying by.  I am definitely going to have a garden at the new house and I have been busy even though I haven't blogged about it.

I am happy to report that we have got a contract on our old Georgia Home Garden house and we are supposed to close first week in April!  I am praying that this will be the one, and it will be just in time for Spring garden season.  I hope I don't "jinx" it by blogging about it.

I can't wait to get back to our "normal" family routine.  I feel like my life has been completely put on hold dealing with the sell of this house.  As much as I tried to appreciate the baby, she will be 1 on April 2nd, and I kind of regret doing all this while she was little.  I know I didn't fully spend as much time with her as I did with my first daughter and that weighs on my mind.

Georgia Home AND Garden - A New Focus

Please visit and like my new facebook page Georgia Home Garden.

I know it has been a while since I have blogged, but I am still here.  We are still under contract at my old house and we were supposed to close over two weeks ago.  The buyers have run into some issues with their financing and it has created a considerable amount of stress on my family the past two weeks.  I am just praying the deal goes through, but the focus on that as well as projects at the new house has prevented me from blogging.

I am compiling a pretty good backlog of projects at the new house to blog about and whenever the old house closes, I will start blogging regular again.

Today I spent some time cleaning up old files in my office and on my computer.  I stumbled across some old photos of a tree I planted back in 2006.  I was surprised at how much it has grown in just 6 years.  I have posted some pictures below.  It is a beautiful tree and I am surely going to miss it.  I have been in a tree mode lately, more on that in future posts.

Lastly, I am changing the focus of my blog from just gardening to info about gardening and home improvement projects.  The blog address will still be georgiahomegarden.blogspot.com, but I am rebranding it as Georgia Home AND Garden.  I am just slipping the word AND into the blog name to incorporate the new blog focus.  I thought it was kind of neat that it just worked out the way I had originally named it.  The reason for the change is because I am focusing a lot on home improvement projects in addition to gardening.  Originally when I set this blog up, my old house had pretty much been redone and my passion for gardening was just starting.  Now with the new house, I am back in home improvement mode and I hope to share some of my experiences as I make this new house OUR HOME.

November 2006 - Autumn Blaze Red Maple - About 8 feet tall

My oldest daughter was only 9 months old then, boy time flies.
No rock wall, no garden, landscape is so much different.

November 2012 - It has grown to more than 20 feet tall

It looks tiny next to the huge pines in the background.
Still my favorite tree at my old house.
