Subject: RE: BS: Gardeners & Soil and Climate Science
Ya' know, Janie, my dear... I thought about this when you told us you were moving into the woods... Just what does a sunny gardener do in the woods??? Well, there is life after the move... As you know, the P-Vine and I moved from the woods to farm that has lots of both... I guess we were lucky because we brought 550 of our favorite woods plants but we reallyu didn't know all that much about plants that like that big round ball in the sky and...

...we are still learning...

I know right now isn't the time to say this but woods gardening is also very satisfying... There's a plenty of things that you will be able to grow... How close are you to Charlotte... The P-Vine's gardening mentor, Barbara Alexander, is a fantastic shade gardener and a tour thru her garden is priceless... And can be arranged...

BTW, when you get settled, look into joining the Azalea Society... Lots of good folks, most who are not sunny gardeners, plues cheap or free plants...

Hope the move goes well... I know it;s going to be hot becuase I have to play music at 12:30 today on a hot parking lot... I'll be thinking of you...
