    Greetings everyone,

    I moved into the suburbs of Boston recently and along with our house came a fantastic flower garden full of tiger lilies, bergamot, stonecrop, hosta, a few milkweeds and peonies, and some other plants I have yet to identify. I also started a container garden with zucchini, cucumber, carrots, and tomatoes. This is the first time I have been gardening in over 20 years, so I am very rusty. I look forward to learning more here and hope that in time I can pay it back.

    Thanks!
    Diana

    Welcome from a small farm in central Texas! You are a pretty good gardener to have identified so many of the plants in your garden. We'll help all we can to ID the others, and look forward to your posts about your successes.

    Diana I'm a little late at welcoming you to the Stew, but I do. As others have said, it has friendly and informative folks from all over the world. Your place sounds very nice. Please post some pic's of your little corner of the world. From a Stewbie in Wisconsin.:setc_034:
