Getting started
Welcome to That time of year, a site that looks to the days and seasons and what we are doing in our gardens. I live in upstate New York, so my reference point is zone 4, where now in the fall we are getting into freezing nights and cooler days. My favorite part of fall is the color changes, in fact, that is the only reason I like fall, to me it means COLD is coming, not my favorite thing! Here in the Northeast, the color has been beautiful, and having gardens that have a variety of trees and shrubs to bring lots of color is a consideration when planning the garden. I will use this site to talk about garden design as well as tips and pointers on how to do things, and welcome your questions about your gardens. Hopefully will also have tutorials about how exactly things are done, using the experience I have gained and gleaned over the years. We all have our different “languages,” meaning you may not be familiar with some of the words we use, so I will be here to help you learn. I look forward to this new venture on my part, and hope I can help and inspire you and your garden.

Nice to meet you at the VA today. I’ve marked your site as a “favorite”. Enjoyed Canna write up. This was my first year with them and was surprised to see how fast they multiplied.
Best wishes
