I have had to adjust my thinking about timing and what will do well here. This place had nothing but grassy areas and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/collection\/lawn-alternatives-and-replacements-for-your-zone\">green lawn<\/a> when we arrived. I love flowers, trees, and shrubbery in my gardens. I also love veggie gardening, so all those things are what my gardens reflect. Zone 7 is much more forgiving than Zone 8\u2014we love it here. I have been gardening for many years and have enjoyed the new challenges and starting anew with a new space. I have started over with my rose gardens and the trials and tribulations of that.
