    Hello from Ontario, Canada

    What a fabulous site this is! I've lost myself wandering through all the photos from the gardens - they're absolutely lovely and give me lots of inspiration for my gardens. I've been dabbling in gardening for years - veggies, a few tied and true perennials and annuals. We moved to a more rural property a couple of years ago and I'm only now starting to make some sense of the yard. There is so much more space to fill and I can see so many possibilities.
    I seem to be rambling on, so I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. I have a wonderful husband, who good naturedly helps to make many of my "brilliant" ideas of remodeling inside or out, a reality. We have 3 children who are almost grown (16-21). The 2 oldest are in university and the youngest has another 2 years of highschool. Also in the family are 2 troublemaking cats but they are awfully cute!
    I'm looking forward to making new friends.

    Hi faeryreel, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas.
    Glad you have been enjoying yourself on the forum, so much to see and read it is very easy to get lost and find the day has gone on without you....fun too isn't it?

    Please feel free to post pictures of your gardening or sites of future gardens. We love to see progression pictures of gardens being created.

    Hi faeryreel :wave:
    Welcome to Gardenstew from another Ontario gardener!
    We moved to a more rural property 6 years ago and I'm STILL trying to make sense of the yard! It has been a lot of fun though!

    Thanks all for the lovely welcome. I've been to the garden centre this morning and planting all afternoon. I really need someone to come along with me otherwise I end up with a car full as I did today! I will get started on setting up photos to share with you.

    I'd love to go with you, but I'm sure if I did we would need 2 cars to get it all home :D
