Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi everyone! First I'll answer the survey questions. My name is Michelle, and I live in central Virginia, very close to the mountains. My favorite flowers are carnations and roses - I'd love to have a flower garden full of them. I love to read, love outdoors activities in general (walking, gardening, etc). I don't really like to shop, so can't answer this question!! I have tried to start a garden the last few years where I live and it has failed miserably. We live on a 5 acre wooded lot with very little sunlight, and the ground is hard and mostly clay. Last year I tried adding a bunch of compost and raised the garden area with bags of organic gardening soil. It helped a little, but not much. I've decided it's best to just plant a few things like tomatoes in pots and scatter them around the yard where there is better light. Beans and herbs did do okay last year. So any advice on how I should proceed this year and what would be best to plant would help! Michelle in Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
