Hello to everyone~

Post by Gardenitis »

Hi there,

I wanted to introduce myself as a brand-newbie member.

Husband, dog and I recently moved to Nova Scotia, Canada from zone 3 Calgary, Alberta. I'm loving the warmer climate and the increased gardening opportunities. We're on a couple of acres - lots of woodland dappled shade and lots of bright sunny exposure. I'm in heaven!

I'm freely admitting to being hosta crazy. I don't really know how or when it happened, but I can say that I'm now full blown nuts about them - up until this season, I had a modest 25 - 30 named varieties and several unidentified clumps. This year I've already ordered another 40+ for this season, arranged swaps for 10 others and big plans for as many more as I can sneak in without husband noticing.

I also have a deep love for all perennials that my mother instilled in me.

I look forward to virtually spending time and learning from you all!

Welcome, Michelle! Sounds like you're a full-blown hostaholic now. :lol: It does sort of sneak up on you. Many of us have our own stories about becoming hosta crazy.
It sounds like you're going to have a ball gardening on those two acres. If you can post pics, we'd love to see the work in progress as you design your new garden. :wink:
Again...welcome. We'll look forward to reading your posts. :D
