About valyum
I guess I have been gardening for about 25 years now not counting the little veggie gardens i had a s a kid. I live on a lake in southern wisconsin with 38 acres of woods and property around us, along with about 7 other cabins. I am such a flower ADDICT I have sunk probably over 2K worth of perrennials and plants into the yard in the 6 years I have been here. Its always a challenge tho having very mature trees all over, yea you got it, pretty much total shade and clay soil as well. So i ammend and do the best i can ( along with many many containers everywhere ) i have been complimented often and have slow drive bys and such. I had better, i seem to be out there ALL THE TIME!!!........................anyway i am always eager to talk to fellow addicts or even novices ( they'll be addicts some day )...........
