it’s pretty easy to figure out – and lots of fun to explore!!

I’m really looking forward to the planting season. It’s going to be extra fun this year as I share the experiences with everyone here and learn tips/tricks from everyone

Hi everyone: I am having a problem with the map on my home page.For some reason it is way off course from where I actually live.Is there a way I can go back and correct it?I can’t seem to figure it out.

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

go into your “garden” and click “edit”
then in the map click where you want the red flag to go and voila.. oh and then save the editing, of course.

Thanks Debbie I got it right this time.
Spent the day going through my seeds to see what goes where in my new gardens.There is already a lot of established ones around the house and yard.It will be interesting to see what treasures come up this year.I have so many plans it will take me all summer (lol)

Hi there Bon,and welcome.I am fairly new also and am still figuring things out here.I know one thing for sure,it is a great place.
I bet you are excited to see what comes up in your new garden,hope you get lots of nice surprises.I too like lots of annuals,and when the gardens are full,I plant them in containers.I only have about 50 containers right now,so I should get some more.LOL.

Hi Everyone: While going through my garden books and stuff I came across one of my favourite flower poems. Just thought I would share it with you all.

Bring Me All Your Flowers Now

I would rather have a single rose
From the garden of a friend
Than have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end

I would rather hve the kindest words
Which may now be said to me
Than flattered when my heart is still
And life has ceased to be

I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed round my casket
When this world I’ve bade adieu

Bring me all your flowers
Whether pinik or white or red
I’d rather have one blossom now
Than a truck load when I’m dead.

Hope you enjoyed it.

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

Yes, I did enjoy it … thank you for sharing that!!!

Hi there Bon, I was just out in the backyard to snap a photo of two tiny yellow crocus opening up on this lovely sunny morning here in Toronto. A great day to take a walk now that it has warmed up.

Bon, congratulations on your up-coming, two-year anniversary with Garden Tenders. Your gardens are beautiful and your kind words help make this site a very warm and welcoming place to share ideas, projects and experiences. I look forward to reading and seeing your posts in the coming year! Fun trivia: Did you realize that you share your anniversary with Mario?

Thanks Robin.No I never realised that Mario was on the same day as me.Where do you get the time to figure these things out? (LOL)

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

It comes from having a seven-year-old son who is fascinated by numbers. He started asking questions about the number of posts in relation to time and we found all sorts of fun number ideas to figure out on the Tenders page. If he hadn’t started asking questions, I probably would never have noticed. : )

I love it! Hope you do too. Let me know when you try it and please let us know how you like the recipe.

I am actually still excited for our container garden and appreciate your reply. Thank you for mentioning cutting the bottoms of my pellets when transplanting into my pots. I was thinking the same thing but did not know if I would be disturbing the roots doing so.
