    Hi. I'm new to this forum. I hail from Western Pennsylvania, where the winters are dreadful and the ever-so-brief periods of sunshine offer hope for spring and beautiful gardens. I joined this forum because I wanted a place to track the progress of my mostly-flower-but-sometimes-vegetable garden this summer through pictures. I hope to take two pictures each week, Monday and Thursday, and post them to provide a sort of slideshow of the changes my garden takes over the next six months. My garden contains mostly irises, daylillies, a volunteer oak tree (the only one we allowed to remain) and a host of other flowers. There are a few daffodils beginning to poke up. I'm hopeful last week's snow hasn't killed them. Now if I only I can figure out how to post pictures!

    Welcome Amy, [​IMG] from the southeast corner of North Carolina,
    where (I hope [​IMG]) spring seems to have truly taken hold.

    I'm looking forward to watching your garden grow. :-D

    Hi Amy and welcome to GardenStew! :)

    If you want to keep track of your garden's progress throughout the year I'd highly recommend you start your own blog here. It will allow you to keep everything nice, tidy and easy to reference if you need to.
    Learn about our blog feature here:

    Looking forward to your photos!

    Gosh, thanks for the warm welcome and all the assistance. I do plan to create a blog and hope to get it started today. I took my first pictures on Monday or Tuesday (can't remember now) when we still had snow in the backyard. It's gone today (yeah!) so I'll be taking another pic today.
