New from Minnesota

I look out the window to my back yard with dreams of a vast wildflower garden covered with butterflies, and visiting hummingbirds, a perrenial garden overflowing with beautiful plants of every color, size, and texture (you know like the pictures in the Garden Gate magazine..cottage garden type) a shade garden under a couple of oak trees in the back by the neighbors fence, and container gardens stategically placed to add style and interest. Oh yes, and the water garden...well, reality hits and all I see are frozen remnants from a past season. I'm a new gardener and trying to make my dreams a reality. I'm sooo excited to be able to talk and share with fellow gardeners..I've got a lot to learn.

Welcome from New York City where 95% of the land is paved and grass is illegal ;-) I hope you have as much fun in gardening and playing in Dave's Garden as I do. It's sure beats shoveling snow.
