Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Now it's time to start thinking about this year's crop of colorful blooms.
First, just a little background info, aside from my profile, to introduce myself. I've been a garden/pond enthusiast for about five years now and hope to share some of my experience with anyone who wants to read it. Hopefully some of you can pass on your tried and true tips to me and the rest of our readers. I live in Douglassville, Pa., and, after watching hours and hours of HGTV (Home & Garden), I decided I could do some landscaping around the yard. Every year it seems to grow and grow, and I don't mean just the flowers! Over the years we've (me and my poor family) added an in ground fountain, a fish pond (followed two years later by a much larger replacement pond), a gravel path with lush gardens alongside it, new landscape lighting (electric as well as solar), countless paving and wall stones, a compost bin, more gravel, more dirt, more mulch, more plants -- you get the picture. Now, what started as a small outdoor project to add some interest to the yard has become my April-October obsession!
Anyway, now that the days are getting longer and, hopefully, the weather getting warmer, it's time to get on with this year's prospects. So feel free to let me know what you're getting ready for this season and I'll be checking back in to let you know what's happening in my garden. I will be including some photos from past seasons to get started until this year's blooms are ready for publication!
