    Hello, Looking forward to seeing what gardeners are doing across the pond and sharing what I am doing in my garden here in USA. I live in zone 5 (safely). I have 2 and 1/2 acre property. We have lived here about 19 years. Just counting the bulbs-I have more than 20,000 that come up various times beginning in early spring until end of May. I have five gardens going now plus-proud to say a heath and heather slope now 4 years old and very happy. We have a gazebo down in our valley and that area is a work in progress.
    A few years ago we were able to travel to see one of my favorite gardens in Washington State--Heronswood --obtained some unique Hydrangeas, some have just begun to flower.
    I live about 20 minutes from Longwood Gardens. With all that I do work full time.
    We also have a wooded property, the leaves are crazy in the fall, so there is several shady areas I deal with. The valley section is more open to sun. I have gone on.
    (Hello Granny)

    Only if I get free garden help. Our guest bedroom is my husbands office, but I do have a futon bed in our garden room.

    Have plenty tools. Extra hands, and a good eye is what I need. :)

    I will be happy to post a few pictures soon.

    Hello and welcome Redstar.

    I have family in the US and am often across the pond, so to say......I'm not going to give up having a couple of bases in the US for all the travelling Himself and I like to do.
