New to site in North Western Michigan

I just discovered Daves Garden today! It's wonderful! Is there anyone else in the Traverse City Area? I'm on the East side of the bay in a valley and am more of a zone 4 than a 5 like the other side of town. I garden, rehabilitate Wildlife, (currently mother to 9 squirells and a fox) and sculpt for a living. I've spent most of the day searching for Narragansett turkeys. Anyone have any suggestions other than a poultry catalouge? jyl

Welcome jy!! I'm not in the Traverse City Area, but have visited there often in the summer - gorgous place! Can't help you with the turkeys either - sorry! I only have one cat... LOL

You will love it here!

Welcome jyl,

So good to have you hear. I can't help you with your turkey question though. We have wild ones on our property but I have no idea what kind they are.

Hope to see you around Dave's more often.

I am loving this site more and more.It's nice to see people who are not so serious all the time. Does anyone know anything about gooseberries. I have had a bush for years and only gotten about 6 berries a year off it. I have followed pruning directions and have a huge healthy bush. Just no gooseberries. It is a pixwell.

I know I like gooseberrys thats about all
