My Gardening Addiction

Living in Niagara, our weather is considerably better than most areas of Canada, and that gives us the chance to grow lush, varied gardens that other Canadians can only dream about.  That may sound like bragging (because it is!) but I have lived here for more than 25 years, and I love it!  I have only been a somewhat serious gardener for a couple of years, so I am still in the neophyte stage, and having a shoestring budget means I spend a lot of time of Kijiji, looking for "deals".  I am looking forward to someday getting a few exotics and rarities.  Right now my most exotic plant is a goatsbeard!  Top marks for the cool name, but it's basically a really big astilbe.  Still, I am pleased with them, and they do really quite nicely in the back of my garden bed.  I'll be posting a few photos over the summer so you can enjoy my garden along with me.  Cheers!

Campanula, also called Bellflower

An interesting little green spider that seemed to like my honeysuckle!
