ggggardener,
I have started a post to you several times today, and words are sometimes not enough, I know what you are going through, my heart truely goes out to you, my dad passed away the very begining of 2001 and only seems like yesterday. He was a grand rock garden maker and could design a rock wall like you wouldn't believe. ( I truely didn't inherit that irish trait!) But my mom lives next door to me after he died and I am now trying my best to give her all the "GARDENING FUN I CAN GIVE HER" She always had to vegetable garden and now, she gets to play with
flowers all day.
And is having the time of her life.
I know the day she passes will be the saddest I will ever~ever experience..... She is my best buddy. (Is your dad still here???) I truely can emphasize with you.....
If you are interested in any gardening adventure, do not hestitate to ask!! We love answering questions. We have "Grown" into a very nice gardening group, very nice people and wonderful to bounce ideas off each other and a bit of humor, and alot of excitement for each other's projects or inquiry's.
I have some questions for you,
Is your dad still with you?
Are you head gardener now for your mom's garden??
And the ladies your mom had the club with, are they close to you??? (near by and/or know you??)
please stick around and read a bit, over the winter just keep curling up with some good gardening magazines, get your name on EVERY garden catalog list you can!!!! (The ones you order
flowers from, they can give you alot of info, and
growing conditions. And if you read one, read ten, or fifty.... You can never read enough, and eventually it becomes second nature.)
If you need any help with a list of those,
let us know!! We'll hook you up with some of our favorite magazines..........
Nikkal one of our memebers is from Tn.,
she is from Memphis, Tn.
Is that close to your area?
Well, stick around, ask away, we'll be looking forward to hearing from you very frequently!!!
spring is coming!!!
What do you want to know first???
Hope any of this info helps!!!
Happy Gardening!!
Weezie
