Laura,
I know what it's like to be a garden fanatic,
I am absolutely hooked on gardening and everything
that comes along with it, I truely hope you get
"bit by the gardening bug" and learn to love it as much as I do, we do and by the sounds of it your other half!!!!!
It's truely something you can't explain, it's just something that grabs you and yanks you out to the dirt...
My downfall is composting and I love

P.S. We also have one of my favorite members out there in Minn., BigBoy, and he is into growing tomatoes
too, looking forward to the two of you sharing info and ideas!!!!

I'm looking forward to learning all that you share about your gardening, and can't wait to see that GIANT pumkin!

Come join in the winter games we have here to help us pass the time quicker 'til we can all go back outside and get our hands dirty.

Thanks for Welcoming us. As Phil said I am a City Slicker gone Country. I have always been good with my House plants so the outdoor Gardening will be a FUN and New experience for me. I look forward to picking out things to plant and watch grow and finally harvesting at the end of the season. Take care all. Write soon. Laura

Welcome Phil and Laura! I'm looking forward to learning more from a Master Gardener. We have a few on the site and they always help us out so much. I'm fairly new to gardening, well at least to having my own. Always helped out mom and dad in the past. Its so addicting, kind of like this site!

Phil and Laura....On the Home & Garden Network today, they're featuring Giant Vegetables after the rose Parade. Bet yer punkins could give 'em a run....

Jillie, I was watching that too!!
They had a huge water lilly you could stand on!!
I've got to look that one up, so neat!!!
