Howdy everyone! I just discovered this forum and can see by the sections available that it's one that I will be visiting frequently. I am primarily interested in organic gardening and have been using that means of gardening for about 5 years. My main gardening interests are in the areas of lawns, trees (fruit and shade), and lots and lots of flowers. As for vegetable gardening…well, I just leave that to the neighbors (they are also organic gardeners) who grow more veggies than they can use, and I am the benefactor of their overabundance. I was a sometime visitor to the Goodearth forum, but was not satisfied with the sections available. Hence, I was thrilled to see this forum crop up. (pun intended) John

Hi John…welcome to GARDENING. Wouldn't trade where I live now, gardening on 1/3 acre in So. California. Real estate is out of sight $$$$$$$$$$ but I was used to gardening (still in So. CA) on 2 acres. That's long before the encroachment of the developers. Nice neighbors you have to be so generous with their extras.

Thanks for the welcome Alison. I forgot to mention in my introduction that in spite of my interest in just a few areas of gardening, I enjoy discussing ALL areas of gardening. I wouldn't be surprised if this forum doesn't grow into as popular a forum as COOKS forum, where I spend a great deal of time. Gardeners and cooks tend to be some pretty laid back folks. John

Hi Alan! Just goes to show that you never know who you're going to run into and where. You mean it stops raining long enough for you guys to garden.<gg> John
