Hi all

I moved in to a new house with a garden that was already in place but overgrown. We left in the Rasberry & Blackberry bushes and I think the strawberries. We will be starting from scratch. I started my first attempt at WS with veggies and some flowers. I hope all goes will. Would love to get some other ideas from others in my zone. I think I'm 7 but please correct me if I'm wrong.:)

My dearest friend around here has accepted a new job in upstate NY and will be headed that way the end of March. She is so excited about the move. She has never lived any further east than Nevada. I think it will be culture shock for her

Walthree where in Staten Island are you gardening? There are many different soil types on the island and hopefully I can help you with getting your garden started on the island. I lived on Staten Island for 13 years before I relocated. If you are on the south side of the island you have very sandy soil and the rest of the island areas are a mix of solid clay to a clay sand mixture.
I will tell you the very best bakery on the island is La Dolce in Woodrow shopping center and the best pizza is on Richmond Ave and Hooker Ave, Dinio's Pizza. Where did you move from?
Welcome to GF, make your self at home and feel free to jump in anywhere. If you need anything just ask.

greetings to all from virginia some folks refer to this area as "hampton roads" i prefer "tidewater" given our proximity the chesapeake bay and atlantic ocean i live on the edge of the elizabeth river...am thinking that being surrounded by all of that nice warm humid air has kept the recent snow storms away from us...we have been really lucky compared to other areas in virginia...decided to join your forum because i don't think i'm technically or creatively ready to try a blog...started seeds last wed 02/17/10.."lime" basil sprouted in 4 days(woo hoo!) still waiting on verbena "brazilian vervain" and greek oregano maybe in a few days??? looking forward to "talking" with all of you. good gardin' tonya
