13 years ago

Hi, my name is Caleb! I am fourteen and I love horticulture, landscaping, and gardening. I am trying to learn all I can about these subject so I thought joining this form would be a good way to learn. I do square foot Gardening with my mom and I just started to get a little more interested. This is the first form I have ever been on, so I don't really know how it works! I hope I don't embarrass myself lol.

thank you, Caleb

Hi Caleb. It's so good to hear someone your age is interested in growing plants. Is there one special area that you are most interested in learning about? There's a lot of knowledge on this forum. Welcome.

A pile of manure that is around 3 years old is already compost. Spread it on thick. I spread fresh on my garden in the fall time, early winter if I am busy, and let it feed the worms all winter long. Straw if it is also 3 years old I am taking bets it is well on its way to compost also. Straw bales around here that have sat for a year pretty much fall apart and crumble nicely. Again spread it on. Maybe layer it with the manure, let it sit till planting time then enjoy. Sandy

Benvenuta Fiamma! I'm another one of the handful of people living in Italy who post here, and it's nice to meet someone else from Italy! I live in the hills in the province of Piacenza and have a large, young garden in the country; I like a lot of the same roses you like. Your pictures are very good. Are you by any chance the fiamma who posts on Compagnia del Giardinaggio? My CdG name is MelissaP (and it has NOTHING to do with the book!). Congratulations on finding your way here: this is a marvelous place to learn about roses, and people are very generous with help. Melissa

I like the New Venitian Gold. I too have to keep my outdated oak cabinets. But with the Persian Brown granite I selected, they will look fine. We are in the middle of our remodel. This site has been invaluable. Budget is probably the most important consideration for most. Keep things in perspective. Good luck and post after pictures.

Molly, hello from Ottawa, ON. I have been on GW forum when it first began. This is a wonderful place to be and you will only find support and encouragement at the Kitchen Table. After all, isn't a kitchen table a place for family and friends to gather? We are not here to judge, just share. I heard on another thread someone has brownies - hey pass some over here. The coffee and tea pots are full. If you don't see what you want on the table, make yourself at home and dig in the fridge! LOL Welcome! McPeg

Caleb,
Welcome to the forum. The only thing you need to do is use the search for any specific questions you have. If you can't find the answer, then post a message. You can also use it to tell us how things are growing. I check the forum often to see what people are posting. I learned so much about SFG from this forum last year when I was just starting out. I learned gardening from my grandparents and mom when I was young. I mostly have been flower gardening for the past 30 years. Just getting back into veggies.
Again - keep in touch.
