Joining ATP I was unsure how I would be welcome .Most sights your just another member or not part of the "in crowd".
No matter what thread I go to everyone always has positive comments even if they don't know.
Thank you all for being you and welcoming us green horns and teaching us all you know.

Group hug
If you would have a mind at peace, a heart that cannot harden, go find a door that opens wide upon a lovely garden.

It is the first place I come to in the morning, and the last place before I go to bed. And today I found all the videos on YouTube. Hurray! Am I a happy camper. Way to hot here to be outside, so watched All Things Plants videos for about a hour. Found the ones on different gardening topics. What fun.

Thank you Dave and Trish for this amazing site. Group hug

It really doesn't seem like 4 years. Having been here since the beginning, it's been a lot of fun watching the site grow. I'm anxious to see what the next 4 years has in store.

Love this site, always popping in to see what everyone is up to. Lots of good ideas, a big family to answer questions and a great data base to look up plants. What more could you ask for?

Happy Birthday ATP! Hurray!

I am here every morning with my cup of coffee. When I get home from work, I am here with my cup of coffee. I've seldom posted, but I lurk ... everywhere! ATP is absolutely my go-to gardening site, nothing else compares.

So while I may not be very vocal, I am here and want the ATP family know how much I appreciate the effort put into this wonderful site. Smiling

Group hug

Thank you to everyone!
