My name is Christen McCoy and I am living with my husband and 3 children in Central, Maryland. I am not arrogant enough to claim myself a very good gardener. The title comes from an inside joke and it has stuck. I have had my fair share of failures and successes and my hope is to share all of it with you. Our little patch of land is called Smallfields. It had been my dream to have a garden of my own one day so I started gardening the instant we moved in. I will try to document all of my experiences as a new(ish) gardener: the good, the bad, and even the ugly.

If you would like to look at my previous years (all two of them) as a gardener, follow me on Instagram:
