Thanks for the welcome! I've been real busy building some gardens for people. I'm trying to farm the earth one yard at a time. Don't know much about this group, but anyone who gardens is cool with me.
Thank you. Been away from this site for awhile. I'm back now to keep up with current news. I'm looking forward to learning new organic and healthy way to live on the planet.
Thank You! Sorry I have not responded earlier. I have been packing like a mad woman, trying to get ready. I will be leaving for Phoenix this Saturday morning! Thanks for your warm welcome to the group!
