I'm Canadian but live in IA. Probably more of us down here than me! Check the member list page and then click on the maps of each province and you'll see everyone.

edited to correct myself: only map of the states. Canada has a list of members by province below the map.

A hearty welcome from Northern Ontario.

Hi echoes, he's a subscriber now!!

Hi Ziekertail
So happy to see another Canadian....a big welcoming wave from Saskatchewan! I'm also a very excited Canadian.....I gots me a Plumie!! :D YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Which one did you get Pam? How exciting for you, I know how much you wanted one.

Don't know the color either white or red....don't care.... it's a plumie and it's healthy!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Where did you find it?

Toronto.........Canada Blooms :) I didn't go there but it was purchased there. :D

Wish I had taken the time to go to Canada Blooms this year. Every year it gets bigger and bigger plus there seems to be more and more American Exhibitors.
Welcome Ziekertail! I live near Ottawa, so tend to grow alot of rocks. You'll love this site, everyone is very generous with their advice and expertise. D

Ziekertail or Kidneyguy... do you ever see Camellias for sale in Ontario?

Lilypon - haven't down our way but I really haven't paid special attention. I will add them to my list as I begin my scouring of the local nurseries. Any thing in particular you are looking for or that I should look for? D.
My DH is retired so loves to travel around the area visiting new nurseries or whatever - he'll enjoy having something new to look for.

Pam, have you got a bit of a zone denial thing happening? Plumerias and camellias? lol, our gardens would get boring if we didn't take a few risks.

Just a wee bit ;)...my yahoo address is zonaldenial@yahoo.ca!

Kidneyguy a gorgeous pink would be so very nice.......double would be great!! Pretty in any color would be appreciated!!!!
:D

here's another Canadian, signing in. Echoes twisted my arm. Glad she did. I'm mainly a lily & iris person, veggies too.
Zonaldenial - what a gveat name - we all are, aren't we. Lilypon. are you a lily person or a pond person.
Enquirying mind has noticed your postings before an just wondered.
Inanda

Between my Dad and I we have 30 different varieties of water lilies....we also have quite a few landlubbing lilies as well. Welcome to Dave's Inanda!! :)

Hi ziekertail......welcome to the forum! My vices are the old roses, tropicals, and the vines!!! happy gardening! In North Vancouver, B.C. also! Elaine

Hi Ziekertail,
Welcome from Dobie Ontario which is just south of Cochrane.
This is a great site, I hope you enjoy it.

Hello and Welcome Inanda also. About time you showed up.

Yep - 2 new is an explosion. Welcome from Alberta to Inanda and Ziekertail. Everyone here is wonderful friendly helpful and insane. Its great company.

Wondered where you had disappeared too. A gazillion plants and being an insanely busy chef isn't enough for you?????????
You gotta send me some recipes for that high energy food ya'll been eating!

Well, Happy Birthday greetings are in order today, june...have a good one! Elaine

Happy Birthday Lynn !!!

Hi to our new Canadian members..
I live in Ontario.
Dave's Garden is a wonderful addiction..

Cheers,

Thanks for the BD greetings. The family gave me some cool new exercise equipment which I'm too tired to use right now but tomorrow is another day. Friends gave me a second seat trip in a sprint car on race night some time during the season - pulling G's at 130mph - can hardly wait. (Yes I'm serious - think I'm addicted to adrenaline rushes - LOL)

I didn't know you could do that, june......I have always wanted to go as a passenger in a race car....yeah....talk about adrenaline

Hi Shawn: I just joined DG last wknd and what a treats its been. I am in Oshawa, Ontario. Clay soil, north facing yard consisting of 3 huge hills. I love a challenge !!! I could use some of those rocks you have Kidneyguy LOL !!

Welcome, AprilHillside, and Hello to everyone! I'm from the Far East (Nova Scotia) and have been a member here for some time, but I don't think I've ever wandered into the Canadian forums before. Nice to meet you all! : )

Rhonda

Welcome aboard, Rhonda! Yes, we're on the West Coast, the central Provinces and on over to the Eastern part of Canada. Now, I have to ask about the gdn clb's plant sale yesterday, Liz and Dawn????? We helped out nearly all day in my son's gdn. Then a load of composted bark mulch arrived..........the twins were screeeeeeeeeeeeching up a storm, and everytime we would look around, DIL would place one of them in my arms or Papa's. The babies are now 11 and 1/2 lbs. and two months on Monday. Where does the time go???????????? Have a great mommy's day everyone! Elaine

Welcome AprilHillside to DG. I used to live in Oshawa several years ago. We lived on Bluejay Cres. which was right behind Eastdale Collegiate. I grew the best tomatoes I have ever grown there. My beefsteak have never gotten that large again. It must have been all that wonderful soil we 'borrowed' from the creek bed that ran through the abandoned gravel pit on the other side of Harmony Rd. We brought load after load of soil in our Kamen Ghia convertible from the creek to our house. Now that was a sight to behold. I've often wondered if the people who came after us enjoyed all of my gardening adventures that I left behind.
I'll gladly send you rocks - we have what is called "Sudbury" topsoil here on the farm.
It finally looks like a delightful day so off I go, crutches and all to start in the perennial garden. Have a great day everyone. D

Happy gardening to you too, D. Elaine

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY! All of you. If you're not a mother, you probably had one. Enjoy.

Welcome to Dave's Emaewest!!
Pam

Congrats Ziekertail! What a wonderful Mothers day present.

Kidneyguy - do you still have the Ghia; it was always one of my favourites.

Welcome to the Canuck forum Rhonda.

I'm glad you finally found us Emaewest. Welcome
LOL, tell me about your site name.

HIya Rhonda !!! ~~~ Big wave to Rhonda from Oshawa Ontario.

Kidneyguy I live just west of Harmony and Bond St. right around the corner from your old place. I back onto the creek but I dont borrow soil from its shores (shores??? more like curb? ? That poor little creek just keeps on flowing despite all the crud and the changes.

Maybe next time you come thru town you could bring me some of those Ottawa rocks?? hehe.

Have a wonderful evening all.

I'm visiting in Victoria sat the mo. Someone (ECHOES OR LilyPon?) told me to look up Banana-Joe? Any idea who or where?
