My First Post

Hello, this is my inaugural post at Garden Fancy. I know no one will read this for quite some time, but I have to start somewhere.

I hope I will interest readers as I relate my ongoing efforts to create beautiful gardens here on the five-acre plot in eastern Iowa that I have been gardening since my family and I moved here in 2008. I will will also write about garden issues discussed on other garden blogs, review garden books from time to time, and post beautiful garden photos that I run across.

I am mostly preoccupied with ornamental flower gardens and vegetable gardening, but do not limit myself to those topics (or those kinds of gardens), and my inspiration comes both from beautiful English Gardens and midwestern country gardens.

Thanks for reading!
