"I love photography and gardening. DG has been a fun place to hang out and see what other gardeners and photographers are doing. I have enjoyed learning about what gardeners have to deal with in other parts of the country. It has made me even more thankful that I live in the beautiful desert, where water is precious, but once you add it--the desert will bloom! Roses only need water here to thrive. At my elevation, the few days each summer that get hot are still very livable as they start out cool and end that way too! I helped plant a tree when I was 3 and over 50 years later I still love to garden.
I have noticed a big misconception about my climate from other members here at Dave's. In my area, the few weeks of late summer that MAY possibly get over 100 are few. Even then our low humidity and high altitude make it very comfortable. I garden mostly before 10AM and the temp is usually between 70-85 that early in the day. Very nice for being outdoors. So the big misconception is that we get uncomfortably hot and don't have winter. We don't get any hotter than most places in the summer and we do have 4 seasons. Thankfully though we don't have a miserable long cold winter and I don't miss shoveling snow!
Things are hectic and I don't get lots of time to check out DG, so if you don't get an answer from me with dmail, you can send me a flickr mail if you have a free flickr account, as I check in on flickr more often. "
