The Dormant Gardener

Category: my first blog ever! | Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 4:25 pm

This is my very first blog ever, so here goes! I am really glad so have found Garden Stew. Its been fun to figure out how to navigate around the site, so much to see and read! I'm not very experienced with the computer, so it comes a little slow... but I am quite proud of myself for figuring out how to post my photos and even got one on as my "avatar" That is a white hardy Hibiscus flower from a beautiful plant. I actually transplanted that plant late last summer which was scary as I had never done that, so this Spring I will be anxious to see it come back to life in it's new spot! Oh, Winter is tough for me to get through! January and February are so gray, damp and cold here! I cook and bake a lot and we have been doing 1000 piece puzzles which are challenging and fun! Just finished one with woodpeckers, it is so pretty! We love to watch and feed birds.
I planted a whole bunch of daffodil bulbs last Fall, so that is something to look forward to. Also, I put in a new Northern Lights Forsythia and when the Forsythia blooms around here, it is Spring and time for me to go back to work!!Yea!! The forecast here does not include any sun for several days, so I will rely on Garden Stew to brighten my days!

Great first blog entry Kay. I'll look forward to your future entries with anticipation.

I hope you'll show us photographs of your daffodils when they all come into bloom for you.

Welcome Kay, I enjoyed reading your blog. My first blog was also here on the garden stew. It is a friendly and informative community. When it is too cold or too hot to be in the garden, I like to work on a jigsaw puzzle.
