Ferns

If we get enough interest can we possibly have a new forum added for Ferns? I know many folks grow them as house plants as well as landscape plants.

I think a "fern" forum would be a nice addition to the ATP lineup. They certainly are different in that they propagate via spores rather than by seeds, and are among the oldest known plants, far older than seed/flowering plants. That fact alone should give them a place of honor.

So you have my yes-vote.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Wow...TY Dave!! Heading over right now!! Just a wee idea.... could there someday be a microbadge....say a fiddlehead for us fern lovers???

*****Never mind....was looking at the badges and there is already one there!!!

I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend.....
