New to Dave's

Hello - a wee bit intimidated by all of this cyberconnectedness but willing to venture out and wade on in. I live in Georgia (a transplant from Maryland) and am finding gardening here wonderful and at the same time frustrating. The wonderful would be the long growing season and the frustrating would be the clay. I am a Master Gardener, and work in a nursing home and would love to hear your ideas for bringing the outdoors in, and economical ideas for my dig in the dirters. My husband is the saint that puts up with me and my odd hobbies and keeps the girls from digging up my plants. The girls are a black lab and an aussie. Looking into getting some fruit trees and maybe a small greenhouse ...

Well hey there a big welcome from Ky. I am sure you will love this place as much as we do. Jump right in and join the fun.

Waving at ya form the Lone Star State!

Welcome joyctrs! I believe there's a slew of Georgians here. I'm sure you'll love it!

Hi, joyctrs - a friendly welcome from Ohio. :) I think you'll find this cyberconnectedness at DG to be very fulfilling and fun. We just got back from Tennessee about two weeks ago and had a great time meeting a bunch of other DG subscribers and their kin. :) Check out the Roundup forum for discussions and the Roundup Pictures forum for all kinds of pictures of the folks and fun.

awww you moved in the wrong direction. :-)

Welcome from an old lady from Arizona...that is roadrunning" right now and am in Virginia today....waiting to join 2 of my new friends from this wonderful Garden to take a trip to visit other DG's. Carol7 and Calalily and I will be off on our Great Adventure to Maine soon now. I Hope to meet you too one day!! Jo

Another welcome from a KY gal! I did a project with an 'assisted living' community this spring that you might want to read about. I'm into heirloom veggies and went with heirloom tomatoes and let them select varieties to grow.

They loved the old names...some residents remembered actually growing some. And they got quite excited about all of the different colors and shapes.

WELCOME FROM OHIO

Another Buckeye welcome! So glad you are here.

Another neighbor to check out for ideas on nursing home gardens is from AuntyB's. A bunch of us sent her plants to start a garden for one of her charges, she lately posted a photo of Judy's Garden. I am sure she would love to give you some thoughts on what she did this spring.

Kathy up in the cold north :D

Thanks all for the warm (no summer pun intended)welcome. I would be interested in any aspect of gardening with the elderly or as I call it Eldergardening - thanks... Joy
