Hi again and thanks for the warm welcome, Grey Parrot Person.
I just clued in that I was supposed to write a short bio on myself, lol. Frozen air must be dessicating my brain.
I'm primarily a veggie gardener and heirloom tomato freak. I know almost nothing about perennials. I look at them, pray for them, and prune the heck out of them in Fall. I'm also pretty clueless about pruning fruit
trees so I will most likely be relying heavily on any advice from all of you in
spring.
I'm one of those over-eager types who like to start
seeds way earlier than my
zone because my roots are originally in Northern California where I can remember planting tomatoes OUTSIDE on March 1. Here I have to pace the floor and wait until June 1. Or at least I did last year.
I've never done the
seed-swap thing but it sounds like fun and a good way to stretch that
seed dollar.
Oh and if anyone has any advice on how to eradicate one's garden of earwigs BEFORE they emerge from the ground, let me know. They ate 3 successive plantings of beans and sunflowers last year. I was NOT impressed.
Other stuff I like besides gardening, but related to it include photography, gourmet cooking, canning, aromatherapy, and birdwatching/feeding.
Thanks again and cheers from the frozen North,
Julianna
