Hello all,

Taking a break from the heat to browse DG when I found this group so let me introduce myself. I live and garden in Mineral Virginia which is that little cold section on the USDA zone map. If you travel 20 to 30 miles in any direction you manage to go from zone 6 to 7.

I teach so have the summer for gardening. We are going back early this year so the major project needs to be finished by the end of July. I am building a new retaining wall for a flowerbed.

I am lucky to have been able to buy the town lots behind my house which are wooded. I discovered a patch a lady slippers this spring.
