 Thank you for your advice, I used this only one time and did not see a change, I will continue to use my maricle grow, They seem to love it!  I will try your peat and lime next year at the cabin, for some reason they are not as happy…

4 hours

My life of gardening.

I love to garden, I live in Andover Mn, and have a cabin in Annendale Mn.
At my home I have a large vedgetable garden, I have a lovely landscaped yard with flowering shrubs, Hosta, and perennials, I love to have the constant fragrance in my outside space.

At my cabin I have a woodland garden in the back yard, aplace to get away from the wind. I am only able to get up there eveyother week so eveything up there has to be hardy and drought tolerant, as I am only able to water when I am up there. My dog Brandy and my Cockatoo bird love to be outside gardening with me. You will notice them in my pictures.

Thank you!  I am so blessed!  Your pictures are great and it's good to hear from someone else in the same zone!  I grew up in the cities and moved up here in 1979.

Thanks, Gretchen!   I subscribe to the theory that if I take tons of pictures, a few will turn out okay.   I love the chase of the great shot.

HI Gretchen. I enjoyed a tour of your pictures very much. Where abouts in Minnesota do you live? Are the leaves up there past their peak? I am down here in norhtern Iowa and maples are waning and now the deep oaks are taking a turn.

Hi Gretchen, Today I saw 4 Monarchs but I don't expect them to stay around to long. There seeing more of them in Florida so they keep moving south. The camera I use is Canon and I use a 70-300 mm lens. With the 300 mm lens you can be 5-10' away which makes taking a picture a little easier.
