Morning,
After 2-3 years of browsing NGA finally decided to login. Now living in Port Orchard, WA. Started gardening in the 50s by propagating a privet hedge on Long Island--just playing with it (usda 7a); learning much more from an Uncle in high desert of CA (usda 8b); getting on my own in San Diego and learning to feed the soil (usda 10a); living on the high planes at 6440 feet SE of Denver with 2 nights a year of -18 degrees F (usda 2b); and now POrchard (usda 8b). Still learning how to garden with deer; here just have a few munchers, one November counted 39 does and 1 buck on my 40'x40' lawn in Colorado.
Still propagating ( soft wood Mexican Orange, Monard--root cuttings Korean Spice Viburnum, Purple Smoke Bush--seeding Gazinia, African Daisey); trying new plants (Rhododendrons, Japanese Maples); and composting by burying and having the worms work.
