Awww, thanks all! It ain't nothin'. *Blush* I just love working on databases. Vicki and I have been our biggest supporters over the past few months! Oh, and Dave has really bent over backwards to accommodate the ease of working with the database! Thumbs up

I told Dave I go on auto-pilot now. I ran out of my pictures (spring is here, more photos to come soon!) so now I am adding nursery photos after writing to them. So many that write me back say how impressed they are by ATP and many of them join in. It's an honor to be part of such a wonderful project, knowing that this database, with all the wonderful contributors with their images, comments and details, can (make that WILL!) become one awesome internet presence!

I just came in from the garden to change into shorts and a tank top, it is that warm! Planting a climbing rose and a vine on an arbor I just relocated.

Just took these shots, spring is here! This new garden will soon give me lots of photo opportunities as I wait for things to fill in. Right now it's mostly just these daffodils scattered in a dozen spots.

Helebores that came with the garden, these two are on the same stem.

Hurray!
And once spring is sprung, people can really add lots of NEW photos, not to mention more comments about the different plants! Actually, I am seeing some spring blooms already! Just a thought...wouldn't it be cool to have a smiley with petals on it?

I think sue needs a golden database badge for reaching 10,000.

That is astounding!

Hurray! I tip my hat to you.

Yeah, how 'bout a big gold star for "extraordinary contributions to ATP?"

Wait a minute: how 'bout we just put her screen name in lights? Hilarious!

Sue, I'm glad you said you ran out of plants. I couldn't even get my mind around somebody's garden holding 10000 plants.

Congratulations to you and Vic. This is simply an amazing place.
