Hi there... Me and my little boy finally got our own little piece of the american pie here on the NJ shoreline and have been digging in the dirt since the day moved in 11 years ago. A novice, self taught gardener, doing lots of research, reading, finding neat old garden books in thrift stores and garage sales. At all times I have a small supply of little envelopes in my purse for seed collecting while Im out and about. My main theme is cottage. Im a few houses from the beach, so its seashore cottagy, some shabby chic and fun garden art stuff here and there. I soo admire the beautifully landscaped properties, but my wild heart leans me towards the charming casual cottage style. Hoping to build my own greenhouse one day... 8X10 maximum.. I have a small yard. Please feel free to offer your expertise/experience/good links. Always happy to share info and seeds. I hope I have something you like :o)

Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy


I have full sun, part sun and few shade spots. No full shade. I have lots of perennials for economic reasons, but treat myself to a flat of petunias each year for boxes and filling in bare spots. I start my own annual seeds as well... typically 100 plugs or so. And of course, there is a veggie garden which I direct sow.

I live in: United States

My zone is: z7/6b NJShore
