    Hi everyone,

    I don't consider myself a "gardener" but my house I moved into a year and a half ago has some garden space. There's a small corner patch just big enough for 3 cantaloupe plants, which I grew last year. This year I'm thinking about kale and some herbs. I have to make it easy because I'm expecting our 2nd child in April. Then we also have a raised bed along the back fence in 3 sections. Currently there are 2 beautiful rose bushes at one end, a scrawny, sorry rose at the other, and various bulbs scattered sparsely in between. I think I'm going to put blueberries in there after the encouragement of several helpful forum members. Hopefully I can relocate my 2 good roses to the front yard successfully.

    I'm glad I found this friendly forum where I can ask my gardening questions. I'm sure I'll be back. Thanks.

    Welcome aboard. Spent some happy hours hunting outside Vail, Co. I remember many happy hours, trying to catch my breath at 11000 ft. above sea level. Also remember sitting outdoors at a burger joint there in shirt sleeves, enjoying the warm sunshine with snow over my ankles. A neat place.

    Welcome Trailmix, hope you enjoy the Stew. April is not far off, are you having a boy or a girl. It will be fun to share the rest of your pregnancy with you here on the Stew.

    Hello Trailmix :wave:
    Welcome from southern Ontario. So glad you found us!
    I worked out in my gardens until the day my 3rd child was born in July of 2003! I found it very therapeutic. My other 2 were born in the winter or I'm sure I would have been out there too!

    Trailmix, welcome to the Stew from north Texas. Ooooh, a baby....glad it is you and not me tho, been there done that now it is time to spoil the grand kids. :-D
    Do you have an approximate due date in April yet? I am an April baby, the 29th.

    I lived in Wheatridge (NW Denver suburb) for a year and in Evergreen for 10 months and in the mountains outside of Kittridge for about 6 months (the closest I ever got to having 'hippy days') back in the early 70's.

    Thank you all for the welcome. It's a boy due April 29th. I also have a 2-1/2 year old girl who is very excited about the baby brother coming.
