Hey! Welcome, Cat!
I haven't really had much time to get totally settled,
@Catmint20906. I've been super busy with "real life". So glad you're here though! Try the Northeast forum. The Perennials forum is great too; the 'What's Blooming' thread in particular is lots of fun.
I will think about the MAG idea a bit more,
@Dave. I think there are probably a lot of MAG-ers floating around in the ether. How much participation are you expecting before you'll make the forum? Maybe in the Fall when my life settles down after school starts again, I'll put a call out.
Thanks!
