i live in the adirondack mountains in ny, in a forever wild wilderness area,and it is simply awesome.
i am trying to get my houseplants going again,right now- i don't have any.
gardening here will be tough as we don't have what i call real dirt, it's mostly forest compost and acidic.
nut--have managed to grow some things.
i worked in various
greenhouses over the years,and have learned a great deal though most of my
plant/gardening skills come naturally.
i love crafts and have had fibromyalgia for about 24 years..as well as have had around a dozen operations,i lost track @ 10.
i'm yough and do my best justto keep going.
We're neighbors of a sort; I live in Lewis county! Afraid it will be a while before you and I can do any outside gardening with all the snow. 
Hope you enjoy the forum.
this looks like a great place. Thanks for bringin it to my attention, I would have never found it. Can't wsit for planting to begin!!!!!
