Hello from Philadelphia

[drysalvages]

I just relocated from a tiny, very dark apartment in Baltimore to a small house in Philly with a back patio -- which means I can finally begin a garden. Right now I have a few herbs, a habanero plant, lilies, ivy, and aloe. I'm hoping to expand soon and learn a lot here about what would go well inside and/or outside.

Hi there! Welcome to the forums! Itr sounds like you already have some nice plants already Best of luck taking care of those, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks! Right now I'm the most nervous about repotting an aloe plant which has grown too massive for its container. It also seems to have sprouted some friends, so I want to try to repot those as well without damaging any of the roots. It's been with me for about 5 years now, so I would really like to try to keep it alive.

Welcome Drysalvages from DeborahJane from Downunder, Deb from Oz for short! It really is an interesting forum, communicating with gardeners from all around the world. Our gardens can be so diverse because of this but we are all so similar in our preoccupation and enthusiasm for our gardens. You can talk garden till the cows come home and no one gets bored!!!
