Gardening with HGTV

It’s time to start gardening and my mother has reminded me MANY times. I just called home and she said she took a lot of my plants that were out-growing their pots and gave them new larger homes. Oh My! I’m sitting here wondering what pots and from where?

I could have avoided this – except I’m Plant and Flower challenged! At home I can cook, bake, clean up a storm, tend to my 5 kids, talk on the phone with clients and e-mail listings – all at the same time! But planting… I’m so bad – and I’m sure I’m not alone! But Thank Goodness for so many sites on line to help.

A great one is HGTV’s Gardening. Under THIS WEEK – there is an “Advice for the All-Thumbs Gardener” site. Check it out – especially if you have or are going to have your home on the market. Remember “FIRST IMPRESSIONS” are important.

Please contact me if you need any assistance in Real Estate – and if you have any luck with gardening, I’ll be asking you for help!

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

Thanks to GOOGLE IMAGERY

I agree that a bit of color and organized plantings are a great eye catcher when walking up to the front door of your potential new home. Nothing says “Welcome Home” better than that! Even if you are garden challenged, there are so many great websites out there. One of my favorites is myeasygardening.com. They offer advise for simple containers to more lavish landscaping ideas. I personally like the organic topics.

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
