I've met many great people over the years... some have left, while others have stayed, and you are one of them! I miss our day-to-day chats. You always provided a wealth of information - gardening & otherwise to me and everyone else.... as I'm sure you still do by the looks of your web site!

It's great to be able to sign your guest book! Throw me a few words when you get the time!

Your Georgian buddy,

I've added a link to your site in my site regarding container gardening, and hope to expand on the information via further research and experience. As spring is arriving, I'm itching to dig in the garden, and satiating my urges indoors.

We have encountered a few problems that I would like to address. Inkberry...are you familiar? We are getting red leaves on it and they fall off. It is an evergreen. What is happening to it? Roses...lots of yellow leaves this year, some have black dots....clump white birch...many branches this year did not produce leaves and seem to be lifeless...the rest of it looks terrific. Any ideas what may be happening? All of these plants are in full sun and we have very clay rich soil! Help!!!

At least my eyes are please with the many dried flowers I have around our warm home. I have been interested in dried flowers since my Grandmother used to hang herbs and flowers above her boiler. Now I am a grandmother drying flowers the same way, lots and lots of dried flowers!

Stay warm and spring is coming.

What is your favorite plant or type of garden?: I have no idea yet. I just choose plants I like and figure it out as I go!
Comments:I was thrilled to see a site specifically for the Great Lakes region. I'm not sure if the info here applies to my part of the state...I am in the southeast. It seems like you are in the southwest. Is it the same climate etc? I'm still relatively new to gardening...just a couple years' experience. But I love every minute and continue to be awed by the wonders of nature.

What is your favorite plant or type of garden?: Buddleia davidii Nanho Blue
Comments:Hi Marilyn,
You choose a truly controversial question (above) and on this day I state that the Nanho Blue is my favourite, but ask me tomorrow or any other day and it may be another plant quite different from it! As far as my favourite garden, well there again I must state that I change my mind quite often as well. There lives in gardens and gardening, dreams, which when given room, grow beyond our wildest imaginings. Each day I learn to love yet more of God's flora and add them to my favourites!
Take care and keep growing,
Rose

Comments:I am a highschool student hoping to grow an indoor vegetable garden for a school project. I know nothing about gardening but I would really like to learn as much as I can. Eventually, once I have a home and family of my own, I would like to grown my own foods, but until then I have very limited space and resources for my school project. I would really appreciate any and all helpful ideas. It's winter now and I know I probably should have started on this project sooner, but do you think it will be possible? Once again I would greatly appreciate help from you who know so much about gardening. Thank you.

Comments:I have a small garden in front of my apartment.
I'm having trouble growing vigorous Impations. They seem to be in an ideal place. I'm experienced in growing tkem for a long time, There is a big night light thst shines on them all night. Could this be a problem? Perhaps the soil isn"t right. They're planted nar the building, Is the dirt too alkaline? I have enriched the soil with peat, compost, cow manure. Can you give me some ideas? Thanks!

Comments:It was nice to find you again!! I remember asking a question about trees on Garden Web. You gave me the most informative answer. It was back in 2001 and I believe you just started your website(?) I rememember clicking on your site and being really impressed with "Garden Room", "Moonstruck" and "Butterfly Garden". I remember that the only thing missing for my " hearts content" was a "Hummingbird Garden". Would you please consider doing an article on these other jewels of the garden? This time I won't lose your site--I'm putting it in my "favorites". I'm so glad I found your website again. I think that the "Southern Great Lakes" has ther own special micro-climate and I am glad that you're here for all of us. I'm glad that I found you once again--it's a great site !!

Comments:I found your piece on Clematis to be most helpfull. I'm new with them this year, so I need all the help I can get.

I got kind of sucked in to buying a few Hall's Honeysuckle, but after spending several hours on the internet at various sites (including yours), I think I'll just through them away! They are actually banned in many, many states.
