    Hi Everyone! I'm new homeowner with a garden I can't wait to work in...first I have to learn a lot more about what I'm supposed to do to make everything beautiful, select the right plants for the right part of the garden, and generally create a landscape plan. I have 8 rose plants, a few agapanthus, a meyer lemon tree and a satsuma orange tree (let me tell you how impressed I am with myself that I figured out that type of orange!) I am looking forward to digging in and reading what all of you experts have to say and hopefully offer some of my own experiences. :-D

    A big welcome from Denmark, Wis. This is a great group with a lot of friendly folks as you have already found out. Great place to learn, share, and see what others from around the world are growing. New gardens are such fun to create. If you want a spectacular annual that reseeds itself. Check out; onestoppoppyshoppe.com These annuals only in colder area will have you OOOhing and AAAAhing at their neat colors and spectacular looks. Glad you found the Stew. :stew1:
