Are you for real? Why don't you try growing rocks. They seem to be
growing very easily inside your head.

Hello Everyone,
I am new and from Connecticut, We just moved here a month ago. Into
a new home we have no lawn or anything because the house was just
renovated. We have some seriou seeding to do soon, we are trying ot
figure out where we will garden etc... it is a lot of fun, we have
such a large blank canvas. I am curious what you all know about
lawns too, We have a some what rocky construction site are for a
front yard. I know we need to get most the rocks out before we seed
but any other good ideas? Also, we are trying to figure out what
plants grow good in this climate since we just moved here.
Thanks for all your help!
Tiffany B

Tiffany,

I am pretty new on this newsgroup, but it seems every newsgroup has
someone like whoever "sister suds" is, but I am beginning to understand
the recent "mean spirited" thread of recent posts. If that post was sent
in all seriousness, ignore her. This group can be of great help to both
the amateur gardener and the experienced. Perhaps "Sister" got out of
the wrong side of the bed this am, or perhaps had a fight with a loved
one, who knows, just know your question sure seems pretty valid to me
(but then who am I BG)

I am in NJ, but I have family in CT. Yes you are blessed with rocks all
over CT (thats how they got all those stone walls. Do the best you can
removing the smaller one. The small boulders you might want to plant
around, letting them guide you as to where your beds may be created
(Alpines love rock gardens). Also rocks that cannot be moved can also
become part of a water feature using them to cascade water over.

What kind of sunlight do you have? Also its important to know you soil
acidity before making any recommendations.
