Intro

Hiya! Several friends of mine have moved over from livejournal and I'm hoping the communities are a little more active here than there. Judging by the date on the previous post, I'm out of luck. But it can't hurt to try. :)

I'm in central Iowa, the weather is cold, and I've recently ordered a whole bunch of seeds from rareseeds.com thanks to them matching sales for charity a few days back. I've got several garden areas, mainly a vegetable garden plus a bunch of neglected flower beds. (Thanks kids!) I'm excited to revamp at least one of them this spring, something I've been saying I'll do for a few years now. I've got zinnias, cosmos, and tomato seeds on the way, including a couple of more interesting colored zinnias.

In the meantime, hopefully the owls and hawks around here do a good job on the voles this winter, they are becoming quite a nuisance!

What are you most looking forward to this spring?

Hi! I have been not-posting for so long that I didn't even remember this com was here. I think when I subscribed I didn't have a place to garden.

I'm in southern Oregon now with a little yard area to use for gardening :) There is snow on the ground at the moment.

This spring I look forward to planting my sun loving veggies in a new spot that gets more (enough?) sun. But first I have to work up the new area - so not sure how far I'll get. Also want to plant more soft fruit. And landscape some of the "too shady for edible plant areas" before the weather gets too hot and dry. In fact many more things than I have energy for in reality, but winter is a great time to dream of future gardens. :)
