Tee, I can soooo relate to your story, as you may know I too had to give up my gardens in AZ and start over here in Colorado. What a change! But, like you, I am learning as I go. Isn't life grand... and BTW, learning helps keep us young! p.s. I have to say that most times I am encouraged by how most things want to live! Sometimes it just takes me figuring out what it needs...
