I'm so glad I found GardenStew...it looks like a great place to spend time, with lots of blogs and pictures to look at. I hope to spend some of my free time here. Most of the time I'm working, but when I'm not, I'm usually taking pictures of my flowers and tinkering around the garden. I grow roses, lavender, clematis, used to grow veggies but don't anymore. Anyway...hello, all!
Hey Octavia you have come to the right place! There is so much to do I can't even explain where to begin. Well maybe this will help a bit http://www.gardenstew.com/about2076.html Lots of the best people here, with so many stories and advice to share. Really looking forward to getting to know you! Welome to the Stew.
Welcome Octavia. I too seem to spend more time working but do enjoy my flowers. A few of my favorites are Lady's Mantle, Yellow roses, Queen of the Prairie, Hostas - the list goes on and on.
Hi Octavia and welcome to our forums. I just know you're going to love it here. Looking forward to seeing some of your photogarphs. :-D
Hi Octavia, glad to have you in the stew. I like roses, daylilies, canna lilies, and growing annuals from seed. I also like to root plants, therefore increasing my never-ending lust for more flowers. DH says one day we won't have any grass to mow and I tell him that is my aim.
Glad to meet you, Octavia! Nice name. I rarely grow many veggies either, but the lavender and flowers are wonderful. Enjoy looking around!
Thanks for your welcome! Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I'm happy to be in the stew. I forgot to mention that the main reason I started growing roses and lavender was that my slugs don't bother them. This is slug country around here! Gave up the slug battle years ago and only grow things they don't have an appetite for...it's much easier on me.
Roses?? Did I read roses!!?? I cant wait to see them!!!! What kind do you have?? IN case you cant tell by my title, I am a BIG fan of roses!! Im a big spounge when it comes to them. I jsut soak up all the info I can on them! Welcome!
I should have seen that coming! *shouts as Pinkie runs away into the distance* YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER. I'M ON A MISSION REMEMBER. A GNOME....ON A MISSION! ... Sorry Octavia, back to your welcomes
