About me

I was born in El Salvador, and moved to the States when I was nine. I come from a family who loves gardening. My mother especially has a gorgeous garden full of orchids, roses and succulents. I have a container garden because I live in an apartment (a flat, I think most of you would say) and favor flowers, flowers, and more flowers! I would eventually like to grow fruits and vegetables in containers, and see how they do. I'd like to make my garden completely organic. I do admit to sometimes committing planticide, but not on purpose! I usually mourn any flower that dies. Right now I especially love petunias, miniature roses and sweet alyssum.
