A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Returning Members... Another Lost Sheep Returned To The Fold

Long gone. So long, in fact, I had to reregister all over again. But it's certainly well worth it!

Seems so many hits I'd get off Google for plant info I was researching would lead me here to Gardeners Helper. Duh! Figured "Why not just go back to the source in the first place and stick around?"
Which is just what I'm hoping to do.

Glad to be 'back in the fold'.

We Hope you stick around with us too! Good to have you back!

Welcome back--my name is Carol

Welcome Back!!!

Please remind this tired old brain which part of NJ you are in? I am in Rockland County, NY on the border of Mahwah in Bergen County. I am thinking you are farther south since your profile says your zone is 7A?

What kind of gardening have you been doing, and what kinds of searches that have brought you back here?

Pull up a chair and join us in banter when you have time to catch up, ok?

Hmmmm? "banter", eh? With me bantering can sometimes be synonymous w/ "seemingly endless blatherings" You may be sorry you extended that invitation :wink: since I'll rarely pass up an opportunity to, eh...banter...er...I mean chat. Yeah, that's it...Chat.

Thank you all for the 'welcome backs'. I think it must be at least a couple years since I last posted here. The set up, platform and options easy to navigate and pleasurable. As well as the company, too.

Just a brief (hah) catch-up bio: "gardenz" is my universal-gardening-forum-persona. But I'll answer to "Linda" as well. I hail from central Joisey, a bit north and east of Trenton. Been gardening for over 25 years now (20 of which have been organic); I love cottage-style gardens; believe the only proper "color palette" or "garden design" is whatever the heck pleases you. I'm mostly into perennials but rarely met an annual I didn't like, too; grow a lot from seed (although not as much lately); my favorite tool is my half-moon edger because I'm anal about keeping neat, curved edges to all my beds; and I never trust a gardener who calls themselves "an expert" since we're all still learning and nobody knows everything. Ever. Especially in gardening.

I Google (aka: research) because I'm a researcher at heart and it helps with my writing. Oh, and I love to create faerie gardens. I'm talking, teeny, tiny faeries. The last entry I made on one of my blogs (listed down there under my sig line) has a slide show of my last year's Faerie Farm. I've got to get back to writing on that thing one of these days. But now...I'd rather spend time writing here for a change. See, I told you how easy it is for me to...eh..."banter".

Hi Linda ~ it's nice to have you back.

All of my people are from Trenton and I grew up on the PA side of the river. You have great weather for gardening down there! (No pun intended... although you are in "the garden state").

We also like to see pictures here....
