It's keeping me busy!! Wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world though!

Hiya, Beth! I started out as a shade gardener - mostly perennials and shrubs. Am branching out in veggies - little sun space so some veg in pots. Yes! Blues and purples and some lemon yellow and chartreuse. Branching out in other colors though.

Hi and Beth!! If you like chickens we have a chicken thread going on over in the farming forum. Would love to see pictures both here and over there.

The thread "chicken farming" in Farming forum

Ooh!! Thanks so much, Amanda!! Happy day!





Most of my chickens!! Some evaded the camera! And the last is super interested!

Hi Beth. I'm Mike. I'm in Ohio too, about an hour south of Columbus.
This is my second year with a garden, and I'm still kind of new here too.
I hope you like it here and get plenty of rain next year.

Thanks, Mike! Happy day to you! I'm already having a ball here I don't have anybody to talk garden talk with... until now!

Same here. My grandpa, and my older friend Neil are the ones that always had gardens. My grandpa died a few years ago, and Neil lives maybe 50 miles from here, and I don't have a car. So this is nice. Nice people here too.

Beth. That's why I ended up here - lots of other people with the same interests. And people here don't roll their eyes at you when you talk gardening Have fun. And Mike we're so glad to have you aboard You fit right in

Welcome Midwestbeth from Ohio. Nice chicken collection!

Welcome Beth!
Love your chickens! Look us up on ''Midwest Weather and Everything Else.'' You'll fit right in because you just met a few of us, lol!

Welcome, Beth! Sounds like you've got your hands full:) NGA is a great place to talk to other folks about gardening!

Beth. I am from NE Iowa along the Mississippi River across the river from WI and a little south of MN. I live in the country with lots of flower beds and gardens but no chickens. We do have 5 horses and a mule, 3 goats, dogs and farm cats. Glad that you joined us. Looking forward to chatting with you in the many different forums/threads.

Hello everyone! I wish I had known about this forum before I had to move from Illinois…would have been helpful.

I'm a pretty hands-off, urban gardener. I have a Garden Tower 2 with a small worm colony, and tend to grow seeds from whatever I cook/eat. I've always grown up with some kind of edible growing, usually tomatoes, though also bell peppers, strawberries, and other easy plants.

I'm currently in Chicago, but will be moving soon to the west coast, hence my coming here to see if I can find other gardeners who would like to give my GT2 a new home.

Looking forward to chatting with you

I can't help you on the GT2 but good luck finding a home.

Welcome, Isaiah! I'm afraid I'm no help with finding your garden a new home either.

I hope you will be able to have a garden in California! Maybe even better since the weather will be warmer. I have always envied the California sunshine

Isaiah,
You will find help in every corner of the world here. Good luck re-homing your GT2.

Thank you all for your kind welcome!

What adorable chickens you have, @Midwestbeth! I was born in the midwest but now live in New Mexico. I used to have chickens, and plan to have more as soon as we can get a coop and run ready for them. They can't free range around here because we have too many raptors around daily.

Hello from Indiana! I have been growing veggies and herbs for 4 years! A small urban kitchen garden! I always throw a new herb in there just to see if I can grow it! I have my staples: green beans,tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, zucchini, onions, and strawberries. Herbs include: cilantro, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. I hope to add chamomile and lavender very soon. Wish I would have found this site a few years ago!
