My name is Jane and I attempt to garden in upstate NY. It is very rocky, with very little soil and the deer are very bold coming up unto the deck to play with the dog. I am very new to gardening and love starting plants from seeds. I consider them my babies. I just started collecting seeds and I am trully amazed and love watching this miracle of life. The New Paltz area is very beautiful because a very wise family 100 years ago preserved thousands of areas around a small lake and many visitors from all around the world come to vist Mohonk. I spend my summers in the Adirondacks [to get away from the tourists] on a private lake only accessible by boat and winters in my high school classroom teaching earth science. My husband is retired and takes care of our 2 daughters, while I am at work. I plan to retire in 2 years and spend more time starting seeds.

I live in: United States

My zone is: zone 5 NY
