This is wonderful Sharon & should help beginner gardeners immensely!  I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown ~~ |

| Yes, & I got a newbie today on the welcoming committee who said he came here to learn & I am going to send him a link to the article.

| A very nice addition to our much needed "Glossary" feature! Good job! We take so many terms for granted, not realizing that not everyone is familiar with them! Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

| Great job, Sharon! The vocabulary related to gardening can be overwhelming, but this list is a great start for a beginning gardener. And I learned a new word too-bolting Vickie May all your weeds be wildflowers. ~Author Unknown |

Glad you all think the glossary will be helpful. I'm sure there are even more basic terms that should be included, but maybe this is a start. I hope eventually we have a 'glossary' tab that we can open at will right here on ATP. There's always something new to be learned about gardening.  |

Hi Sharon...This "newbie" very much appreciates your basic gardening terminology list. Looking forward to learning so much from this great website and it's wonderfully helpful members! Thanks so much!  |

| Hi Lynn! It's so good to have you with us, and it's for sure you will find an answer to just about anything you ask here at ATP. It's also for sure you won't be a 'newbie' for very long around here. Welcome to All Things Plants! |

| Great glossary for beginners, Sharon, especially with pictures. Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day. "The moving hand writes and having writ moves on.
