Thanks for visiting my landscaping site and I really hope you find it useful. I'm Doug Green, a semi-retired nurseryman, gardener and award winning garden writer. In my nursery days I owned a specialist nursery and garden center (for 25 years) growing thousands of varieties of perennials and specialty annuals. I shut that down to write full time and now I've written 8 gardening books, over 6000 pages of articles here as well as a growing number of ebooks.
I invite you to browse here and use the link on the top right "more topics" to find answers to your gardening questions. The search box in the bottom right hand side also links to all of these articles.
You'll also find a great many Q&A forms scattered through the sites where you can ask questions and help other gardeners with their questions.
Thanks again for visiting - I really hope I can help you have a better garden
Doug
