Hello! My name is Cathy, aka Cathy4 in that 'other' place. I am so happy to have found my old friends and to make new ones. I have a smallish yard, a small greenhouse, and my husband and I chair the gardening group at our church. He does the hard work, I do the fun parts. We had mostly shade gardens until a tornado came through this spring, so this year has been a fall-back and regroup year. Lots of shade plants found new homes while sun lovers moved in. We have raised beds for the veggies; it makes it easier for me to manage. At church we are gradually going to Missouri natives and plants that survive hot/dry conditions. Oops, I forgot to say I live in St. Louis County.
