It has been a slow start to my gardening here at the new Zone 6 homestead. I hurt my back and have been recovering all summer. It has been a very slow recovery so far, and I'm not back yet.
Taking the first season just to look and watch the yard and woods and landscaping has been good. I am learning what I need to plan for, what I need to look out for, and what seems to work and not work. Just driving around and looking at other people's gardens has taught me a lot.
I look forward to seeing what the autumn has yet to hold for us.
