Hi. I live in North Dakota. My husband farms and I am a medical transcriptionist. We have 2 boys, almost 9 and 3. I spend my time chasing them, my husband in the field, and working full-time as a transcriptionist from my home. My husband keeps telling me to get a hobby because all I do is work, so last year I dug up 1000 square feet of yard in the front of my garage and deck and planted many, many, many bulbs and roots! We have had a VERY dry
spring/summer, some of them didn't even grow, but I have been keeping very busy adding this and that. I even made a dry creek bed with a 3-wine barrel fountain! I do a lot of research on
flowers on the Internet and this web site keeps popping up, so I decided to finally join! My favorite
flowers are coneflowers - love them. They are just starting to bloom in my garden now and I planted 8 different kinds this
spring, so am anxious to see them all! I have found gardening to be a lot of work, but I absolutely LOVE IT! My 9-year-old will come out when I'm watering, which I have had to do on a daily basis this year, and ask if he can do that for me - I always tell him "This is MINE!"
I look forward to sharing and getting lots of ideas from you all!
and I wish we could get a little bit of it now.
