Morning everyone.

Evan, we wouldn't have left you behind. Dave hasn't made the general announcement yet, he is going to launch the site next week, so I was just going along with that. Looks like people are finding their way here though, and that's good.

I totally agree Polly seeing our old and new friends on the new site will be exciting and wonderful.

Glad to see this forum here! Yay!

Polly - the Japanese Irises are doing well. I hope I get a cold enough winter this year so that maybe our experiment to see if they will bloom in the deep south proves fruitful! Big Grin

I am growing a couple of Bearded Irises in containers here. Received in a trade from a lovely lady. One bloomed this year for me and I love it! I really didn't think I could grow the bearded types here in zone 9a/10b. But I can and they DO indeed bloom! Thumbs up

Welcome to all who have found us before the big announcement, this should be fun and exciting and bigger and better than ever with Dave again at the helm.

Welcome Annmarie

Don't all of you think this is exciting, the birth of new and badly needed improvement of what DG had become without Dave and Trish at the helm.

Hi, Polly, Dee, et al --

What an adventure, and I love being in on the ground floor. Sue and I were going to keep our cubits in Cubits, but later decided to move clematis and roses here. Sadly, our poor pets got left behind in the nearly empty cubits. They allegedly have nothing to do with gardening. Says who? Rolling on the floor laughing

Hi Jamie!

Zuzu, I'm just still undecided. So far we're staying at Cubits also, we had so much set up there. I just don't know.
