    I'm living on a small Island in the Basin of Chester in Nova Scotia. I started my flower garden a few years ago, after I got some flowers, mostly Irises, form one of my neighbors.

    This year is the first year I want to try to start plants from seeds. Searching the internet for some tips about how to do it right, I found a very positive article about this forum.

    I'm not a very experienced gardener, I hope I will find some help here.

    I have only started growing from seeds the last couple of years, some hits and a lot of misses but I am trying again this year.
    Lots of our members will be able and more than willing to give you any help you need.
