Can't wait to hear more about your gardens. Can you tell me where you live in Upstate NY? I live in Rockland County now on the NJ border, but have gone to school in Binghamton, and Rochester, and my son lives in Ithaca - are you anywhere near any of those towns? By the zone you mentioned, it sounds like you are VERY upstate?
I like the before and after picture idea. I'll post them - someday. We are in fact very upstate. We are in Camden, NY on the edge of the Tug Hill Plateau and therefore recieve quite a bit of snow. But hey, can't beat the cost of living.
I am a native New Yorker (upstate) myself but enjoy the coast of Maine very much. I too will be glad to hear of your garden plans and/or see pics!

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
