Hi, Allison. I'm Nancy and I live in "the other New York,"........meaning the rest of the State outside of New York City. I'm just about as far away from NYC as you can get, and still be in New York. And I'm just a quick 20 minute drive from one of the most awesome sites in this country. Niagara Falls.

We own the vacant lot next to our house, It's mostly grass, but much of it is garden area. You can see the backyard mural my husband and son painted on the side of our garage HERE.

We have birch trees, maple trees, dogwood trees, a Japanese maple, hostas, hydrangeas, lilies, black-eyed susans, irises, roses, phlox, daisies, potentilla, tulips, daffodils, crocuses, sedum, heuchera, azaleas, rose of sharon, peonies, lilies of the valley, bleeding heart, a couple more that I'm sure I'm forgetting, and a special plant given to me by a lady from Bulgaria. It's named Zdravetz, or Bulgarian Geranium.

That's me and that's my garden. Smiling

Yes, Allison, it really is. We love sitting out there. With company, without company, sunny days, rainy days, mealtime or just relax time. We have a birdbath out there too and it gets a lot of action! We love watching them drink and bathe.

Hey, I found you!
I'm probably about a 75 minute drive from Niagara Falls, kind of between there and the Fingerlakes.
Just got here, will look around and try to get familiar.

Hi everyone, just checking in.

I'm Polly. I live in Hannibal, NY, up near Oswego, just off Lake Ontario. We have 63 acres up here, and I garden on about 5. I'm kinda retired, took an early retirement from a state job and work two days a week in my daughters dental office. I also own a mailorder company selling irises.

I'm married, 41 years, and have two grandkids. One loves to garden with me, and one loves to cook with me.


Deb, it was really nice meeting you today. Later this evening I'm going to put the pictures I took of Jo Ann's gardens over in the lily forum.

Allison, thank you so much for starting this forum!!!!!

Here's one of my gardens.
