My name is Sharon and I live in Wainwright, Alberta, Canada.

I love gardening so much that I'm addicted to the greatest hobby on earth, been digging in the dirt since 1983 and will never stop till my soul goes to greener pastures. My favorite plants are the hardy roses. I didn't realize after researching and experimenting that there is so many hardy roses that will survive our cold winters like we have here in Alberta. No more hybrids T's for me!

Right now I'm happily trading seeds with other gardeners, enjoying all the 2004 catalogues, making a wish list, planning where they will go and getting ready to do some Indoor Sowing & Winter Sowing so that the winter will go by fast.

Last summer hubby and I started to build a 10 x 18 greenhouse. It's ½ finished. My dream has always been to have a GH and hopefully it will be up and running by May 1st.

Happy Gardening & Keep on Diggin'! Sharon

THE CRAZY GARDENER'S CREED

I want it.
I want it all.
I want it now.
If it will not grow in my zone or is prohibitively expensive, I want it most of all.
I am perfectly willing to forego any necessities of life such as food for my children in order to have it.
I recognize my horticultural dependency.
I recognize your horticultural dependency.
I will willingly aid and abet your dependency, as you will mine.
This makes us infinitely happy.
All money saved by virtue of comparison shopping equals found money and therefore it is not counted as spending.
If everyone else has it, I must have it too.
If I have planted everything that I have already purchased, I must immediately buy more plants.
At this point, it is customary to recite your Visa number from memory.
