Welcome, Gardenitis! All the way from Canada

[putnamgardens]

Hello from MN: Your handle is fun. It means you have inflammation of the garden. That's a good way to swell. I know you're dormant like me but SOON, we'll play in the dirt. What kind of Dog do you have? They make good company don't they. Mine never complains. It's no mistake that women's best friend doesn't talk. I'm looking forward to learning about your garden. Later, Love, Lisa

Well hi there Lisa,

Thanks so much for the welcome & I'm glad you got a kick out of my handle!!

I have to admit that I am really enjoying meeting fellow gardeners on here. Isn't it nice to hear other garden maniacs talk about their passion? Geez, I love it - very support group-ish Definitely needed to get through the winter.

I would have thought husband would feel relieved that he no longer has to listen to me go on and on about spring and planting and hostas and mulch and everything else, but instead he asked me if I joined a cult. What a guy I often wonder how it works for people in relationships who BOTH are passionate gardeners...I certainly will never know - husband thinks digging new flower beds is an insult to grass. How do I endure???

On the other hand, dogs are the VERY best and I have to say, yours is just sooooo adorable. Love the antlers! My guy is a Bernese Mountain Dog 12 months. He just wants to be my shadow. Here are a few photos I took last summer -
