Hello Fellow Gardeners, I love roses, herbs, antique flowers and growing vegetables. When not actually in the garden working, I can be found inside either cooking stuff from the garden or reading one of the way too many gardening books that I have collected over the years. I really need to stay out of bookstores! I have already started planning the additions to next years garden and yesterday placed a fall-planting order. Now I need to finish getting the bed ready before the order ships. Sometimes I wish retirement was already here! Maybe not! I look forward to talking to everyone and learning a lot. Thanks, clairdelune |

Welcome clairdelune. You will love it here. Trust me, retirement doesn't help, LOL. I thought that also. You only eliminate one kind of work from your life, then you find way to much stuff to do. Retired in California |

Thank you to all for the warm welcome. pettyk44, I'm another Kathy with a K not a C. Is your name short for Kathleen? I have always liked my name. Except when someone was teasing me about that Everly Brothers song!! MountainGardener, you mean retirement doesn't mean I get to just look at my garden and enjoy it? I have this fear sometimes that retirement will find me redoing the entire garden! I can't wait! Even though now, after years spent working in jobs that had me standing on my feet all day on concrete floors, I have a desk job in a business I love and hope retirement is a long way off. One of the good things I can envision about retiring is not needing two wardrobes, garden and job clothes. All I will need is lovely stained garden clothes! jules, I am with you on Florence! I just finished tidying up the mess from Ernesto! And I love your kitty picture. I have one indoor fur ball that kindly lets me sleep in her bed and demands meals on a daily basis. She is in charge of the house while I toil at work. Now if I could just get her pass her fear of the vacuum, she could clean up all the hair she leaves everywhere! She is a beautiful long hair gray and black tabby looking kitty. She is almost 13 years old but acts like a kitten! I know I am going to enjoy talking gardens with everyone here. Thanks again for the nice welcome. clairedelune {my user name came from one of the beautiful clematis that I ordered to add to my garden-one of my many plant addictions} |

LOL, well of course you can just look at your garden and enjoy it, but.........you won't. You right about only one woredrobe though. My vow when I retired, was jeans and tee shirts only. Worked for me, have excuses to never get dressed up now, don't have any dress up clothes, LOL.
