hi, and welcome to dg.
i live up here in springfield, but i visit my inlaws in east providence. we'll be there this weekend for the easter holiday.
i started gardening in 2000. i joined dave's in 2000. i new i needed help, since i knew nothing, so i went online searching and found dg. i've been a member ever since and find it has been my #1 gardening resource. i've met some nice folks here, vuia the computer and at the north east round-ups. these are great fun. food, gardening talk and plant trading. what more can you ask for from a day?
have you done any plant trading? or plant receiving? i did a lot of that in the beginning and i still have plants in my gardens from generous dg members.
welcome and believe me i had 2 black thumbs that are slowly turning green, and now a new major addiction. but as far as addictions go, it is ok.
squirrels. we dont have many considering we have woods behind our home. there is a woman down about 5 houses that feed them and the birds. good for my gardens. :-) but a couple of years ago i started to find oak trees growing in my garden beds. now i don't know where they are finding these acorns, i can't see an oak tree around neighborhood, except for for the ones growing in my garden beds that is. guess there trying to tell me something. :-)
welcome to dg
enjoy and keep asking i do............:-) i have to find out about hellebores soon.

debi & franklin my little pekingese doggi, who is also our "kid". every spring we have arguments over him going into the garden beds and peeing. guess who wins? my favorite mantra is "out of the gardens":. :-)
