Thanks ctCarol, for your comment

Yes Carol (hb), I have several pleasure gardens on going. In different stages of inception to fruition. The main garden is evolving towards a typical english style informal garden and one of its anexes is a recent rose garden dedicated to my roses. The other parts around the main farmhouse have flower beds more of a typìcal cottage garden. I simply love flowers and try to grow as many in quantity and diversity that I can. As I'm already in my life twilight zone I handed over the commercial operation to my godson who is now running the vegetable farm, plus the herd of milch sheep. I keep up with occasional trials in new varieties of veggies. Other gardens in progress is a woodland garden and a rock garden. When I say a garden it means a distinct separate area from the others surrounded by tall vegetation giving the feeling of dictinct rooms. One other garden in preparation is the wild prairie garden. I'm now getting my seed germination bench ready for winter sowing of perennials, some of which I managed to get from Outsidepride.com. These I have successfully sown a few and will gradually be placed in the prairie garden and the rock garden. As I achieve progress I will uploads pics.( I'm only now learning how to use digital cameras so I ask for a little of forbearance). Since I have ample space I do keep a dry sand yard where I tend my potted plants, that are placed for hardenning off and for watering during the dry summer months. I also keep multiplication beds beyond the landscaped gardens where I "store" in rows , my dahlia seedlings, my extra TB irises and my extra Daylillies. Eventually that area will become my general trial area for introductions once my gardens have reached a well balanced proportion of colour, texture ,shape and diversity. At first its getting the bulk renovated then one can put effort to the detail. In that sense everywhere its in some stage of progress.
So summarizing I'm a full time gardener, in contentment with my lot, feeling very blessed that I can derive so much happiness in caring for my plants. My time learning how to share at ATP now NG has been very fruitful and look forward in continuing doing so.
