    Hello,

    My name is Laura, I'm from Ontario, Canada, and gardening is my fun escape! I mostly garden veg & annual flowers, but I'm looking to branch out. My favorite plants are nasturtiums, sweet peas, and heirloom tomatoes. I'm looking forward to getting to know some gardeners from "across the pond".

    Hi Laura .

    Welcome .I am always interested in how gardeners in other countries tackle their gardens .. What they grow and how . I am mainly a flower person but on retiring recently have taken on an allotment for vegetables ..I have many Fuchsias and Brugmansias but dabble with lots of conservatory plants which I keep in my 2 greenhouses .Look forward to hearing from you ..

    Hi Laura

    Welcome to this forum. I'm new on here as well and i have found that if you need, ideas, inspiration and motivation, this site certainly gives you that. You'll soon be planting more than flowering annuals.

    Enjoy! :)

    Hi there Laura

    I lived in Canada at one point in my life .. Montreal and Toronto .. but I bet it was before you were born. All I remember was snow.

    Enjoy the forum.
