Hello! My name is Dawn and I'm new to this site and to gardening all together. I live in Chicago and have never attempted to grow anything more than basil & cilantro. I'm writing because we installed a fence last weekend and 'the deer will eat all the flowers' excuse I've been using is no longer valid. I basically have a blank canvas and have no idea what to do with it! I've been reading the forums and even did an online gardening course this weekend in an attempt to get some direction, but I guess I don't know where to start and I'm extremely overwhelmed. I'm not even sure I should start anything being it's August already.
If anyone has any thoughts/advice or can nudge me in the right direction, I would be so grateful!
Thank you so much!!
