Woo Hoo! Another new member. Hi Joan! What kind of a garden do you have in Mississauga? Hope you stop in to chat sometime. I think you'll find us a friendly bunch. Lots of great info to be found at Dave's Garden. I trust you are finding your way around the site ok.

Hi Joan,
A Big welcome from New Brunswick.
Joanne
Thanks for your warm welcome. It is much appreciated.
Here's a picture of a house sparrow that I took on the week-end.
Have much investigating to do of the site.
Thanks again.
Ladies/Gents she's got a digi!Ü Welcome aboard.......boy are you going to get addicted to this site. :)
Can I have answers to my postings e-mailed to me? I asked this somewhere on the forums but not quite sure where I am. lol
I'll learn.
Joan
Not here.....we just click on the watch thread option and the threads you are *watching* will pop up at the top of your screen.
Welcome to DG Joan
Yes you'll learn.

LOL..........Milan you certainly said a mouthfull there. ;) Only he could cover so many bases accurately (and in detail) in one post.
Don't forget to include your growing zone #.......Shannon (spklatt) should be along with the link for that one. :)
still trying to untie the knots in my tongue :)
I think Christine (ceedub) has that link, Pam. I'm not sure where it is, off the bat. In the meantime, is that a distinct lack of snow I detect in the background of that photo, Joan? :-)
WElcome Joan!
Welcome Joan, from beautiful, but rainy, Vancouver Island. Looking forward to hearing about your garden, and seeing pictures of course.
Sandy
Welcom Joan.

Welcome aboard Joan, from snowy norhern ontario.
Happy gardening here, Joan.......from North Vancouver............Elaine
Yes Shannon, it would be me who has the link to Canadian hardiness zones - http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/climate/hardiness/intro.html - and 5a is not correct for Mississauga Joan, you're 5b or 6a. Welcome to Dave's! Have fun learning the ropes. What do you grow?
Christine.
Glad to see you made it with the link Christine. :)
ceedub, the zone would be 5b. I usually give it as 5a/b as I think it is more accurate.
I am now an apartment dweller so a lot of my gardening is indoor or on the balcony. However, this building supplies gardening plots. Last year was my first for the plot and I grew beef-steak tomatoes, dahlias, peas, and marigolds. I put in 2 Alliums last Fall so am anxious to see how they do.
This year I'm going to do things a bit differently and will show pictures as I go along.
Have a good day.
Joan
That's great that you have a gardening plot. We'll be anxious ot watch your garden grow, as we show ours as they grow as well.
Welcome to DG's.
Linda in Victoria
Joan, I planted two different kinds of Alliums last fall as well. They are up about 6 inches now and I am anxious as well to see them bloom. I planted Purple Sensation and Schubertii. We'll definitely have to compare photos later on in the season.

Hi Joan..waving from here....a big welcome ..
Here is my three allium Purple Sensation from last year..June 6th.
Starzz, they are beeeeeutiful. Thanks for sharing.
Joan
Ooooh, can't wait 'till mine look like that. Gorgeous Carol, thanks for sharing, :Donna
Welcome Joan, from another Ontarian, and a newbie here too! I'm in Windsor, waiting eagerly to get my hands on a garden at a new home I've bought.
Looking forward to sharing stories and questions with you, and seeing all these gardens fill out and brighten up!
Kris
Glad you enjoyed seeing them girls.
This is how the foliage looked in late April...but that is here of course.
In B.C. I am sure Donna's are up already.
Welcome, Storybookmum.
Cheers,
Carol
