About bloominnana
I have alwa;ys enjoyed gardening. I have wonderful memories gardening with my grandmother and mother as a young child. I am interested in perennials, small trees and shrubs. I am going to take the Master Gardener program that our county extension service offers starting in Sept for 12 weeks. I look forward to the fellowship as well as the education. I found this site today in my pursuit for caring for Monarch caterpillars that number 23 on one of my dill plants. I fear I will not have enough food for them and am trying to make plans to see them to their new life as Monarch butterflies. I look forward to my opportunities and experience as a "gardenguides" member.
