Hi I am working on getting some pictures up loaded, but in the mean time...I moved my family into my parents home 4 years ago. My dad had run a greenhouse with a lot of wildflowers such as ladyslippers for sale. He passed away 5 years ago and my mom needed help, so we moved in. Since then I had been re-arranging the beds he had from straight rows of one thing to cottage style beds with a beautiful chaos. My daughter (14years) tells me that when she gets married she wants to have the reception in our yard...that gives me about 10 years to get it ready. The real challenge is that I am doing this with what is already there and sharing perannals in the fall with my gardening friends. Very low budget, but very rewarding.
Hi Becky, welcome to GardenStew from hot, sweltering, humid and did I mention HOT? north Texas. Gardening with what you have and swapping with friends is a very rewarding way to do it. Looking forward to pictures. Check out http://www.gardenstew.com/about4115.html for instructions on uploading photos and if you have any questions just ask.
Hi Becky, how are you? Is it hot up your way? Welcome to this friendly place. Can't wait to see what your spaces look like -- I like the thought of beautiful chaos and all of your inherited plants and garden habit!
Hello, Becky, and welcome to the Stew from the coast of Norway! I'm looking forward to stewing with you, and am certainly looking forward to seeing your yard, ready or not.
You all are very friendly! We have been thinking it is too hot up here, but I suppose to Texas it is realitivly cool.
Welcome Becky from yet another 'hot'(haha) Texan. So glad you joined our group and look forward to seeing your pictures. Make yourself at home.
Hi there Becky. Even here in Scotland the temperatures are so much hotter than is usual for this time of year at around 24 degreesC. I'd love to see photographs of your 'beautiful chaos' as it sounds just the thing that I'd love.
