I'm in western Canada, but still considered prairie.

Hi,

I am Cheryl. It seems I joined this forum 4 years ago and never made my first post. I think I have actually smoked around longer than that maybe with a different email.

I'm in Southeast Missouri.

I mostly enjoy my many flower garden beds but have one small vegetable patch. I consider myself a cottage gardener and rustic gardener. I consider my garden a happy place, or a secret garden, or just a place to create a little bit of lovely. It's always changing. I love to making little vignettes. I love when people enter and they have a surprised happy face. There is also a covered patio where I spend a lot of time. I share my garden on YouTube too.

Southwest Missouri

Hello everyone! I'm in southwest Missouri. I've been gardening for a long time and should be experienced by now but still have more failures than successes. lol Enjoying it tremendously though.
We have 10 acres that is mostly a hayfield lined with trees down one side where there used to be a fence row many years ago before we moved here. I've planted trees, shrubs, and flowers for the birds and butterflies for many years.
I toy with winter sowing just about every year and have been shopping for a few seeds even though my leftovers box has plenty to keep my busy.
Just wanted to say Hi to everybody. Now I'm going to go over to the weather chit chat thread and complain about the freezing forecast. : (
