Hi
My name is Lee. Interested in indoor plants, flower (perennials as I dream of a carefree garden) and veggie gardening.

We moved in a year ago on 25 Apr 09, lake frozen and still lots of snow(more normal than this year). It was really warm here in March but has cooled off past 3 weeks. Not complaining because the result is a prolonged period of nice outdoor weather with no bugs trying to drain you of all blood.

New home on lake facing WNW so we get afternoon/evening sun at the back where the deck overlooks the lake. This is important in N.S. Tends to cool off as soon as the sun starts to go down. We watch the great sunsets and run inside just as the cloud of mosquitoes arrive

Last year concentrated on on flower garden in front of house and very small veggie garden that was a flower bed before- no perennials. When not working or gardening, My daughter has 2 ponies and I have a horse (off site) Show season just starting so the marathon begins.

The way I kept this plastic from collapsing under snow (2in) was many wooden skewers you normally use for BBQ kabobs. If too mucuh more snow probably collapse.
It is an experiment.
