introduction

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself after reading a few weeks. I 
live in a New York apartment, and have decided that this won't stop me 
from having the garden I've always wanted. At the moment I have a 
wonderful southern exposure, with windows that think they're a 
greenhouse. My standard houseplants are flourishing, parsley & basil are 
doing well, and salad greens seem to grow well, though more slowly than 
I'd expected. I'm delighted to find this newsgroup, because books 
haven't really been any help. They all assure me that I can easily grow 
vegetables & flowers in the city, right in my tiny yard or on my patio! 
I come from 4 generations of New Yorkers, none of whom have had so much 
as a balcony of our own. I have always looked out on beautiful lawns, 
trees & flowers, but they belong to the apartment complexes I've lived 
in, & I can't dig them up.(On the other hand, I don't have to mow them.)
Anyhow, this is a long way to say I'm delighted to find you. If people 
can grow morning glories in Canada, I can do it here. I've a tomato 
plant I just put in a larger pot & I'll see how it goes. I'll probably 
keep asking questions...
Thanks.

AFM
