I bought this property in the fall of 2008, so last season was the new start for my little acre (about 3/4 of an acre). It had been neglected for years and was overgrown and needed a real 'lift'. This is what I planted last year. A lot came from Baltimore Valley (BV) as I have a part time job there and I can not help myself!!
