Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Mixed Feelings About My Gardens

My gosh, 2010 has been a year of many changes for us.  With the purchase of a vacation home in a considerably warmer zone than here there was the excitement of new gardening experiences but at the same time I was saddened at the prospect of selling this house.  We went ahead and added to the garden beds despite the house being up for sale.  Then the house came off the market while we spent a much needed break at the vacation house.  Upon returning home we relisted the house so it is with a lot of mixed feelings seeing the close of this year's gardens.  There is a very good chance we won't be here in the spring so while I am happy at what I've been able to accomplish I'm saddened at the prospect of not seeing the results of all our hard work.  But so it goes with gardening.  Part of the fun of gardening is the adventure and the challenge of starting over again when necessary. 

Happy Gardening!
