Apparently Japanese mustard greens are beautiful and taste delicious. I can't wait to try growing them this summer.

Oh yes please! A new Gardening series would be fantastic! I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and you know that nasty winter you had in Minnesota? Well, that is my life Every. Single. Winter. Sigh.

Oh well, our little cottage garden is a delight for the short summer we have here in Calgary. I love perennials although many flowers that are perennials where you live are annuals for us!!

Soooo looking forward to your new series.

Thanks
Cath

I am a big fan of hardy geraniums, there are so many different colours, heights, spreads and aspects. There is a hardy geranium for every senario 🙂 xx

It was a challenge (to say the least) to garden in CA as not much likes dry, triple digit summer heat. Now I'll have a more temperate climate and have been doing my research. I, too, love the cottage garden look and will be mixing in old favorite flowers with veggies. There are wonderful nursery and mail order sources in your area: Annie's Annuals in Richmond, Cottage Gardens in Petaluma, Digging Dog Nursery in Albion and for really unusual seeds – Floret Flower Farm in WA and I will still be using all of those. I brought with me 2 pots of the 'Dorothy Perkins' rambler rose that originated in my Grandma's OH garden. A piece of it has lived in Ann Arbor, Lafayette, Middletown and now NC. I love your idea for a new series to share ideas and suggestions. Can't wait to get my hands dirty!!

I used to have over 50 varieties but when we moved I had to leave them although I did dig up 3 of them. Now, I mentioned this to you before and I don't know whether you found the plants but you've got to get purple basil. You can eat it and it looks beautiful in bouquets. They smell heavenly!! And the really neat thing about it, you can take cuttings, put them in water and they root so you can get more plantings. I can't wait to see what you do witht he garden. Have a wonderful day!!

Plants, soil. fencing, pests, watering. It would be great to hear what others' experiences have been and what they love!

I've done more that a few myself in our little Minnesota fixer upper. I can't wait to see yours. Stop by sometime and say hello!
