    Hi Margie, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Yes there is a lot of information to read, feel free to add any plant info you have to the forums too.

    What kind of gardening do you enjoy? If you have any pictures of your garden, pets, hobbies or local scenery to share we would love to see them.

    Warm welcome to you from the chilly Norwegian coast. :D I guess you've got spring now, lucky people. Please post lots of colourful photos, since I'm suffering from flower withdrawal.

    Hello Again

    Thankyou for the welcome. I do flower gardening and I have 14 native trees. Namely, Grevillea, bottlebrush, and eucalypts. My flower beds are constantly changing colour. It is very hard to keep our plants alive as we have been experiencing severe drought conditions. The water restrictions we are on do not allow us to water our garden unless we use recycled water or our own water. We have recently installed two rain water tanks but so far have not been fortunate enough to fill them. We do our best with what we have and have had some success.

    I'm sorry to hear about your water restrictions. I'll tell the next batch of rain clouds to go visit your place instead of dumping it all on me.

    Howdy Margie,

    So your down there where it's spring, please, please, keep us in cheer this winter. Reports of dry gardens are better than ice and snow.

    Well, welcome from Kansas City.
