Northeast Gardening: I STARTED GARDENING..........., 1 by Noreaster

I started only three years ago. And the reason I started was my dog(s). I used to throw a frisbee for my Boston Terrier and the wind would blow it into the gigantic mess of weeds that was our yard (no one that lived here before us gardened, either). My dog would rush into those brambles after his frisbee and I was terrified he'd lose an eye because of it. So I just started taking out the junk and reclaiming some of the cool natural features we have. The science of gardneing still intimidates me, but I'm learning with the help of my father in law and the good people here. Now I'm pretty much as obsessed with gardening as I am with my dogs.

Here is what my "garden" looked like the last time the frisbee landed in there. Someone planted those daylilies at one time, but that was about it. Even though they aren't anything fancy, I still have the daylilies that were here before. I feel like I owe them for all those years of neglect, lol.
