Hello All. I was recommended here by a fellow gardener Barbara and Its really a wonderful site. I guess it will take a while for me to get acclimated.

Looking forward to reading and watching and being part of the site. Wow you really have a well oiled machine here.. It will take me some time but Ill catch on. Thanks for the wlecome ~ Pat

Welcome! from Missouri I tip my hat to you.
Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. ;) Gardening takes a lot of work, but replenishes the soul.

Thanks very much for such kind words!

Trish already has many of them in sticky threads in the Help & Welcome Center, but I added my faves in a new thread.

It would be cool if others add their favorites! Then new members will start recognizing names of people with similar interests even before they stumble onto several posts by them.
