downscale_babe surfside beach, SC(Zone 8b) Feb 25, 2004

I have done most of my gardening in zone 6 the mountains of North Carolina and now find myself very close to the beach in South Carolina.I am also blessed to have 8 live oak trees on my property.In fact they take up most of the front garden.While I adore these trees the biggest problem they bring are many rodents with bushy tails who are probably the best fed critters in the Carolinas = half of what I plant.
I have already taken advantage of links from this web site and am very enthusiastic about being a member.

Hi downscale-babe

Is that the Surfside Beach that is beside Garden City?

Welcome to Dave's Garden from Ontario Canada.

Your name makes me think you have just retired and moved to be close to the ocean.

Cheers

hello
yes you have the right Surfside Beach.Have you been here for a vacation?We have many visiters from Ontario.We are only here in the winter and part of the spring when it is very quiet and some days I am the only one walking on the beach.You are partially right about the name.We are not retired yet but our aim is to very much "downscale "our lives"Thanks for the welcome

Hi again
Your picture is very close to where we live but there are no high rise buildings and we are about 3 blocks away from the ocean.

Yes I have been there in Garden City.. The low building in the photo is a restaurant I have been to.

Right now the wisteria should be blooming and pansies set out. Am I right?
