Thanks all! I think I'm going to love it here :)

Marshal - You Rock!!!! Thank you so much for all the great information and advice. I bow to your awesomeness :bow

I have decided to put in a raised bed for tomato plants this year, but I am totally clueless about several things. 1) Money is tight - are they hard or expensive to build when you know less about carpentry than you know about raised beds. 2) I was thinking of starting with a 4' x 8' size...

I would go with the Greenhouse. I think a greenhouse would serve you best and quite frankly, I'm afraid of bees.

I have already been bit by a mosquito and this usually doesn't happen until June. Something tells me my husband won't be interested in putting in a water feature by the patio this year.

Reading this made me suddenly realize why I love the sound - It is how I imagine the background sounds of heaven will be. Thanks Nachoqtpie!

Thanks for the great ideas. I will definitely fence off a vegetable garden when I get that far - probably just tomatoes this year. I also think I would like some raised beds it appeals to my love for neatness (if you saw my house right now you would hurt yourself laughing!). Lesa - I love...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I am in Central Indiana, just west of Indianapolis. Zone 5b or 6a according to some. I figure I'll error on the side of caution and go with 5b. My garden plan this year is to make my front yard more appealing or in other words when I pull in the...

Just hung my first wind chime outside my kitchen window. I love the tinkling sound it makes - I wonder if the neighbors do? I don't know why I've never had one before?

Since I live in Indiana, all I can say is WoW! Wish I'd been there!

The lilacs here in Central Indiana are in full bloom already - It's the earliest I have ever known and they are gorgeous this year.

Very unique! I would definitely have to paint them or at least stain them, but I do get a little crazy with paint brush

For a delicate looking flower I have done well with Torenia (Wishbone) - much like impatients they are low maintenance.

Thank you so much for the link! What a great way to pass the time when it's raining.

I have two large planters that are approximately 4 feet deep and there was no way I could afford to fill them with soil, so I used my son's old deflated basketballs and soccer balls. I was a little concerned at first that they might be coated in something that would harm my flowers, but so far...

My all time favorite flower is the Peony because their fragrance is heavenly. I especially love the pale pink and white varieties.

:) Hi all - I am very new to gardening. I am excited about exploring my new passion. I've got a 1/2 acre yard crying out for some beauty. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
