I've been gardening in Nashville, TN for about 8 years after moving a trailer-load of plants from the Seattle area to my sunny, clay-filled, hot Nashville backyard. Talk about some culture-shock! My garden is primarily sunny perennials with lots of different irises and daylilies, roses and miscellaneous other plants. I have a small shade area with a collection of hostas and such. I added a decent-sized vegetable garden last year and a few fruit trees.

    Dear Lisa, Hope all is well and look forward to seeing your season unfold.  By chance, are you in a bee area?   I am on the hunt to find photos of the critters - quick.  We are redoing  the homepage of the site with pollinators in honor of the US Department of Agriculture's Pollinator week June 20-26.  We are also going to be in Washington DC at the USDA Pollinator summit since they asked us to promote our pollinator initiatives - the birds, bees and butterflies. We'll be taking it forward to Facebook and beyond (with full attribution of course, and we can link to your blog/glog).  Again, looking for any bee photos by Monday and hope you might help out! Best wishes for a great summer - and we look forward to seeing what you're up to in your corner of the world. Lisa
