Hi everyone! I am new here. and i guess semi new to gardening in general... i did it with my momma as a kid but my husband and I bought a house and now i have my own and it was horrible when i moved in and now on year two there are signs of life in the formerlly wild rose garden of severed fingers, and dead yard. we have grass (some) growing and ripped out the big ol' dead tree and rose bushed that from what my new neighbors say hadn't bloomed in three years and mostly attacked the neighborhood kids. we have a bunch of sickly looking aspens that need removed this year, they ALL have oystershell scale and some are already dead. The only original thing left is the apple tree in the back yard. Anyway... im new here and I love gardening.. my husband calls in "therepy" lol I hope to get to know some of you and look forward to chatting!
