A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Hello from WV!

Hello! My name is Lisa and I live in WV! I love being outside in my flower beds and doing anything in dirt! I have 2 sons. One is 4 and the other is 16 months. My 4 year old has started to work with me in the flowers and I love it. I am not sure what else to put, but glad I found this forum.

Welcome to the forum!

Oh, I loved it when my son (now 13) used to "work" with me in the garden as a young toddler. I gave him an old spoon so he could dig and dig. He'd dig and pat, dig and pat and chatter away. Now he is an able gardener in his own right.

You live in a beautiful part of our country!

Thanks Cindy and Merme. I love WV! It seems to be the perfect spot for me. The mountains are beautiful and the animals and all the wild flowers that grow here. Could not ask for a better place! My son loves to dig the holes for me and he puts the potting soil in for me and pats. He even wants to know what some of my flowers were. He helped me pick them all out this year. I normally do not buy annuals, but he wanted pansy's, petunias, and verbenas. He thought they were pretty, so we got them and he is helping me plant them! I got myself 3 more climbing roses, tulips, hycinath and I have 6 mini roses coming and 3 carnations. I will be asking for help when they come. I had them before and they died on me. I also have a trumpet vine coming for my archway to attract hummingbirds!

Lisa it all sounds very nice and quite fun too! Do you have a camera so you can show us pictures as your gardens progress?

I'm just learning how to use a digital camera and today my son is going to try to photograph our Easter Lilies as they are so lovely.
