Welcome to our gardening site!

On this site, I'm going to talk about what we are doing to grow our garden. I'll give a bit of history on the projects
we try, as well as some background on how we went about them. I will also include some instructions on how to do these projects,
as well as any tips or tricks I've acquired through the years. And, of course, I'll include lots of pictures of the results
of our work or of us enjoying ourselves doing it. Thanks for visiting, don't miss the other pages.
We started working on our yard in earnest in the summer of 1999. We added a screen room to the patio and started a perennial
bed. Things started well but we lost the screen room when it collapsed in an early snowstorm in the winter of 2000. We replaced
it in the summer of 2001 and are back on track. I don't think that we consider ourselves master gardeners, we just like things
to look nice and we enjoy being outdoors in the nice weather.
This year we are starting our annuals and vegetables
in a mini greenhouse that we have set up. We will be growing under flourescent lights starting around Valentines Day. Make
sure to check the Projects page for details and updates.
Please sign my guestbook and let me know what you think of
this site. Also feel free to contribute to this site with your own tips.

The garden is too shaded so we will relocate it to a larger and sunnier spot this spring.
