I have been gardening since I was little, but it was only flowers that I directly gardened. I did help my grandfather bring in the harvest from his veggie garden, but I did not have that sort of a garden.
The garden that I had was in the 7-9 zone area, so gardening here is a bit different. There are different weeds that I have never seen. I can grow some plants from home, and several new ones. I believe it will be interesting. I have been gardening with roses and veggies now for three years, and have a lot to learn.
