Welcome Annette! You will love this site. Hope we can help you out even if our zones are different. I love learning about gardening in other countries. There are a lot of nice, firendly people here.
Hi Annette, from Montana! I don't know if we could live farther apart from each other, but I'm excited to hear about all the plants in your garden and around your area! (And your birds too, if you're into those! An African birding trip is a dream of mine!!)
Howdy Annette from North California up in the woods.
Oh boy, another southern hemisphere gardener!
A good number of flowers and such are from down your way.
It'd be pretty cool if you'd describe your climate.
One of my camping family friends goes to South Africa once a year or so to do Motocross. I think they go to the north part and cross into another country, places with names that have m's and z's and hardly any vowels in the names.
Hang onto your login stuff so you can come here often! We're all just ordinary folks and TEG is kinda like facebook for gardeners to us here, hanging out at the common back fence taking a break from gardening.
