Very nicely done. Especially liked how you accounted for the regional differences of accents!

Re: Green Biscuit

Thanks Kia! I found some words, including "me" and "you" in two or more formats....so i don't know which would be "correct"....

do you apply your interior decorating principles to your garden (e.g., colour schemes)?

do you have a big yard for your gardeing?

do you prefer vegetable or decorative gardening?

are you into foliage, or are you a bloom lover?

does your hubby or daughter help with gardeing?

do you have a water feature?

Hi Mountaingal. If you don't mind, I will answer your questions in a narrative format. It'll be clearer, I think. I have been gardening since I was a teenager. I used to help my Dad with his veggies as a kid, and as soon as my sister moved out, got a house, and started planting gardens, I got the bug. I am a general gardener, I plant everything - veggies, annuals, perrenials, shrubs, trees, containers, etc.

Three summers ago we bought a house that had been renovated and had virtually no landscaping, just mud. It is nearly an acre. The first summer I was pregnant and then had an infant, so about all I did was make the front somewhat presentable and plant my veggies. Second summer I did some more and we started to plan, but because of damage done to the property, we knew we would have to undertake a major "renovation". This past summer we finally hired a backhoe and bulldozer and started to lay the bones. Ran water and electrical lines to way out back, and at the end of summer/fall, built a shed. Because I was pregnant again and not feeling well, I didn't get the fall planting done that I had hoped. I am so looking forward to Spring. I am still planning and haven't finalized. We know we will have a water feature eventually. I wan one section alongside the house to have an Asian feel...there will be lots of foliage plants. I also think I will underplant shade areas with mosses. Part of me want to ccreate some color gardens a al Gertrude Jekkyl, but we shall see. I keep changing the plans....now that the Holidays are over, I can begin to focus on it for the 2 months I have to go until this boy is born. Hubby helps with the big heavy stuff. This will be the first year my daughter is old enough to "get" it. Last year she planted some sunflower seeds, but then didn't know enough to look for the results! She did getting a talking trowel for Christmas that she loves though! I will be posting progress pics on the morning ride in a few weeks. Tehy have seen the before, but nothing since the major overhaul. Hope that answers everything! Peace and blessings!

Oh, wish I had an acre to play with! I'll try to look for your progress reports in the morning ride...are you planning on posting them in a separate gardening thread as well (I'm not a morning rider, normally)?

Anyway, thanks for the response, Green_Biscuit...
