Keep those comments and questions coming!

I’m pleasantly amazed and happily overwhelmed at the response from readers to my garden blog. I’ve always said gardeners are the most sharing and friendly people in the world, and the messages of encouragement and many questions posed have confirmed that belief. Truly, we gardeners love to trade tips as well as compare notes and plants, and I’m eagerly anticipating chatting with gardeners throughout The Bee’s readership.

The questions you’ve sent for me to answer are as varied as the plants in our gardens. I will try to answer each and every one of them as quickly as I can. But be patient, because it may take me a few days to get through them. Some I can answer quickly, while others may take a bit of research. My plan is to post questions and answers on the garden blog website so others who may have some of the same questions can learn, too.

Thank you to everyone who has responded with comments and questions, and keep them coming!
