Found this website through a Google search on growing crystals. I've tried all kinds of crafts, with varying degrees of success, but that never stops me from trying something new! We have a garden that is mostly shade. I am a plant collecter, but can't really call myself a gardener (been there; killed that). Janet
Janet, welcome to the Stew! We have great crafty types, and gardeners here. Pretty soon you'll be saying, "Been there, grown that."
Hi Janet and a hearty welcome to GardenStew. We are looking to hearing about your craft adventures so keep us updated! Merry Christmas!
Hi Janet, welcome to GardenStew. There are lots or crafty people here and many of us grow plants in the shade. My yard is 90% shade. Questions? Ask away, there is usually someone with an answer. Welcome aboard. Jerry
Hi there Janet from Scotland in the UK. Firstly let me say welcome and Merry Christmas. I'd love to hear about the crafts you've tried and are trying as well as all about you, your family, pets and garden. Not that we're in the least bit nosey here you understand. We do so love to find out all about our new members however so that they can become part of the worldwide 'Stew' family. :-D All the very best for 2013.
Hi, Janet and welcome to the Stew. You found just the right place for growing things, crystals or plants. Sympathy to you on the "garden killing" thing. I think we have all been there and done that. you are no better or worse than us. Try it again. we will all cheer or lament with you. Carolyn
Hi Janet from a Stewer in Wisconsin. Glad you found this super friendly community of folks from all over the world. This is a very diverse group of crafty, funny, helpful, flower and veggie grows, and so much more. Welcome aboard.
Hi Janet, and welcome here! I live in Missouri now, but am originally from Reading PA, not too far from you. Glad to meet you. I think all of us have "killed" stuff in our gardens, including me. Last summer I killed some rosemary, lethodora, tomatoes, and a bunch of other things. Lots of things grow anyhow, and we just keep on trying. It took me over 20 years to get hollyhocks to grow for me, and they did well for 5 or 6 years, than last summer they all died off. I have no idea why, but earlier this winter, I found a few new hollyhock seedlings in one flower bed, so I HOPE they grow and thrive forever now. I will keep planting them, along with lots of other things! At least the onions and garlic are doing nicely.
