Welcome

November 19th, 2005

My name is Chris and this is my gardening blog. I live in the city, technically “near-suburbs” I guess, and my lot isn’t the biggest thing in the world, but I make the most of it. Since buying this house I’ve put in over 500 linear feet of brick retaining wall, a new fence, and hundreds of plants. I’ve probably spent nearly $10k and hundreds of hours of labor over the past two years on my landscape. I mostly grow flowers and perennials, but I’ve also planted some trees and foliage plants.

The goal of this blog is for me to share my passion with the world, and also to provide tips I’ve learned through my own experiences and through watching countless episodes of shows like Gardening by the Yard. (hi Paul).

Its almost Christmas right now, and so there isn’t alot of gardening to be done, so don’t expect a lot of activity here until spring comes, at which time I hope to post atleast once a week. I plan to cover both gardening and landscape design.

Oh, and I garden in Zone 5 (lower Michigan).

    Hi Chris, It is a good website. Great tips about gardening. I will try it in my games: Harvest Moon and Sims Makin Magic. They deal a lot with archtitect, designing and landscaping.

    Well, thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I do love gardening. I grew up in a small town and my mom loves gardening so it’s in my blood :).
    Last month my husband gave me a bouquet of Tulips, there are so beautiful! I will be very thankful if you can give me some advice about how to treat them, if I can keep them in water or I must plant them in soil.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Chris,
    You have a really neat site, I’ve been reading through your posts and know that I will be returning.

    Good luck with the blue poppies. I have been trying to get them started here in Maine, and so far, have not been able.

    Sandy

    Really great site, I use the Mittleider method of gardening. Next year I am increasing the size of my homestead garden. Withthe yields I can even sell a great amount of produce.

    Keep up the great work and
    Happy gardening.
