Welcome to MagicSnail!

We're here to explore the world of gardening together. I must admit I'm a novice gardener having only purchased my home 3 years ago, but I am learning fast and anxious to see my garden come to life again this year.

Here I'll share what I've learned through reading, experience and the advice of gardeners far more experienced than me. I come from a family of farmers so hopefully I inherited a bit of a green thumb.

I'll share my experiences as we go down the Magic Snail trail so that all our visitors can learn from my successes and failures! Check the trail for updates often as things are changing quickly since Spring has Sprung! :)

This is my garden journal. You can watch my garden grow and follow along to see what works (and doesn't) for me.

May 31 2004 - We cleaned the carpet, put the crib together and hung the canopy and put his little dresser and hamper in. We also got him a rug! I should say that Wendy did most of these things :) She also hung up his shelf and shadowbox.

May 29, 2004 - Baby Walter is on the way so we've been working on his room. Wendy did some fantastic murals for him. Mom painted Winnie the Pooh and Samantha painted in the Dumbo mural. Here are some pictures:

Spring 2003 - Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I updated this site. I do apologize.

Also, most of my picture galleries are broken right now. I'm working on that. Sorry.

I made a new gallery with a slideshow, however this one for some reason has duplicates in it but I didn't realise it until I had already processed the gallery, slideshow and everything... so for now we'll live with the duplicates. Hope you enjoy the pictures anyway. Click Here for Spring 2003 pictures.
