Hello,
I'm new here, and loving it! I'm a long time plant lover but I've moved from place to place over the years following my husband's jobs.I've never been able to see any of my gardens mature. My favorite place was in the Marshall Islands, where I fell in love with tropical plants. We now live in the desert and high desert, so I'm mostly planting xeric plants outdoors, and tropicals in my greenhouse. I'm always happy, regardless of where we live, and I keep busy playing with my plants and seeds.

I've only been here a few days, and I already see that happening. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Oooooh, greene is right! Did you find your way to the Greenhouse forum yet?
http://garden.org/forums/view/...
And there's also the Southwest gardening forum. Heh, who, me? An enabler? Nah.

Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

I hadn't found my way there, yet, Woofie. Thanks for the links. This site has so much I could be on 24 hours a day and never be able to get to it all.

I'm still trying to figure out how to properly submit plant and data proposals. Zuzu showed me the plant database forum, so that was a big help.
