I would have been happy to even say 3 years! That teaches me to get married at 19! But good luck on 25. You're almost to 10... that takes patience!

I'm 50 something, 6 foot tall, 240 pounds, meaner than a nest of hornets, and I get my exercise by ripping old growth stumps out of the ground and chucking them into burn piles. Get it? Duh

Hello all!
I stumbled accross this site this evening and think it will be a wonderful place to start posting.
I am a 22 year old female from Texas. I grew up gardening with my mom and have now worked at a nursery for about a year. I love every second of it. I just moved in to a new house and hope to be xeriscaping it very, very soon.
I just can't stop learning about any and all plant life.
Posted By: stardust Re: New (and Old) Tell Us About You... - January 4th, 2006 at 08:42 AM
td- are you 50 or 17?! I'm straing my brain over your posts...
mountain_laurel- I'm 22 too... and I was considering moving to Texas. San Marcos is excellent! Intstead I just moved into a new house in Florida. Craziness.

Hi Y'all...I'm very new here, and probably won't get it right, but I found this site in a google search and I think I'm gonna like it! Trying to save a dying plant, but dont even know what it is! Wish me luck!

Hiya, I'm still a newbie here .. but yeah for me gardening is more than just a past time or hobby !! Its my bread and butter ... otherwise I've just crossed the 30 barrier, 6ft 1,175 lbs . I luv racing cars, photography, animals, travelling beyond the usual places and anything that gets my heart pounding . Also luv the regular partying, hitting the night spots .. but this is once I've finished with my harvest.

Hope someday to meet members from here in real life .... !!!

Cheers

Posted By: moondance Re: New (and Old) Tell Us About You... - January 5th, 2006 at 09:59 AM
Okay-see where yau now live in Florida. sorry I must say that you kinda sound like some of the girls that my daughter used to hang with in Sacramento Cal.
Posted By: stardust Re: New (and Old) Tell Us About You... - January 6th, 2006 at 07:26 AM
Florida pretty like that too. I was actually born in Harlem, moved to So Cal when I was 9 lived their until I was 13... been in Florida ever since. So that explains my Cali personality

Hi ! I am thinking I am too old to be a poster on this forum !
I am 73 , and have been gardening for around 50 years . I am cutting down due to age and other drawbacks . More of my plantings are in containers now .
My Husband is even older , and rather disabled , so I do all the work , indoors and out !
I like plants in all categories , from the tiniest to the largest .

Welcome Marian...You're never too old to be a poster here!!! In fact since you have been gardening for 50 years you proable have a lot of knowledge and experiences you could share with us, esp for the ones who are new to gardening.
Posted By: Marian Re: New (and Old) Tell Us About You... - January 14th, 2006 at 03:02 AM
Comfrey , I hope I can be of help , but my gardening experiences here on this rocky thin-soiled hilltop hasn't been the best . Quite a change from the deep soil I was used to .
I 'have' planted many trees , shrubs , bulbs and perennials . Many have done well , but many have died !
I also have a very large variety of indoor plants .
Marian

Hello!

I'm new to this site too. wavey
I am a lover of houseplants (my husband says too much) so my house looks somewhat like the inside of a greenhouse. I guess I like to decorate with plants (again, my husband says too much hehe).

I'm just recently married and moved into my first house-fun!! I haven't really tried my hand at outdoor plants or gardening yet, but I hope to start this spring around my new home. flw
Posted By: Teapotprincess Re: New (and Old) Tell Us About You... - January 14th, 2006 at 03:19 PM
I am 46 years old, married, with one grown son.
Work in middle management. Like primitives, country, and cottage. I love perennial plants and container gardening. I have some past experience working in a garden center, and my grandparents and parents installed a love of gardening in me. I don't grow vegetables other than a few salad items, but I am interested in starting a grape arbor and adding several fruit trees.

Hi all,

Here I am, schmoozing on the internet. I'm 39; have 2 young children; married; moved to NJ a year ago from NYC; have lots of room to garden; and know very little. Looking for help/inspiration to make the world a more colorful place.

Find gardening much more daunting than cooking!
