My name is Jennifer Dixon. I live in New Brunswick in eastern Canada (Zone 4). I have been gardening on and off for five years now and really enjoy seeing the fruits of my labour!

    Very nice ! PS : Give that clematis more room to climb and odds are you'll be seeing an increase in blooms for years to come . Give it a little bit of a hair cut at the ends of a few of its "runners" . Cool roots , lots of sun for the green and a touch of organic fertilizer of one's choice in the early spring , and the odds are excellent . Keep up the great work .
