I am envisioning this to be a collaborative blog amongst gardeners in cold climates, especially hardiness Zone 4 and colder. People I plan to invite include Bub, Innes, my sisters, the Adirondack gardener, the owner of northerngardening.com, the Suite 101 Northern gardener. This blog would be a part of my website, which will also list books about cold climate gardening, links, resources, etc. I’m also going to have a section on North Hill and the writings of Winterrowd and Eck, also a listing of upstate New York nurseries. I also want to have some of my writings with photos. Maybe a link to a photo album.
About Kathy Purdy

She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children
