A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 Hello from Genny - Questions

Hi everyone, how are you? I'm new here and am from Ontario, Canada.

I'm in the process of writing a small book on gardening - I started 20 years ago when we moved to this house with a little backyard that was totally neglected. We've managed to create a little oasis back there with some shade trees, hostas, baby's breath, hen and chicks, ferns, all kinds of daisies, roses, etc.

Anyway, what I need help with is this question: What is it that you would like to know most about gardening?

Is it planning a garden, mulching, starting plants from seed, etc.? What area do you have the most questions about? Thanks for reading - it'll help me focus on my little book.

Welcome to the board. Someone will come along and move your post to a place where it will be answered by a lot of people. I'll wait and post my answers or questions there.

Hi, yep Sheri is right...I'm going to move this post to Gardners Chat where you'll recieve more replies....Welcome to the forum.

Thank you - anyone have some tips about gardening questions for a small booklet I'm writing. I'd like some ideas on questions you had difficulty getting answers to or anything you feel may be pertinent. Thanks,

Gen

I'm a beginner gardener and what I would like would not be a little book lol. But it is the environment each plant likes. Also which plants can be interplanted with other plants. For example bulbs.

You see I have glads and they only bloom for a short period so I would like to have something else in the bed with them so there would be color there from spring to fall but I don't know what I can put there that won't interfer with the glads.

The same is true of just about anything else I have as well. I only have a 280 sq ft garden area and I want to see masses of color all year long if possible. Or at least interesting textures.

Oh by the way i'm in zone 7, my garden is on a slope and I have to hand water so I want stuff that is drought tolerant if possible. Now that I have made your life miserable......I know that my wants are probably to specific to have much of a market but maybe something in my situation will give you an idea of what direction you want to go.
