I am finding so much community this year in my search for gardening advice in the high desert! I found free local classes at the grange, I ask neighbors for tours of their gardens and get lots of tips there, and I attend seed swaps when possible! I haven’t grown food here yet (this summer will be the first) but with my flower garden, I just try. Trying anything all the time! And I keep the little plant descriptors and tape them into a notebook and make notes on what I notice about them through the year! Good luck!!!!
Erin, I love this! Especially about the trying -- anything, all the time. And how gardening opens-up your sense of community. Finding that too, here. Brilliant idea for archiving the plant descriptors and note-keeping and observing, I'm definitely going to try that! <3
