Hi!

Thanks to Lavandula Girl, I found this place. A few of you may recognize me from Idig and OG. I'm a serious gardener and I'm about to get even more serious. I have 300 or so Tomato plants waiting for me to catch a break and get them in the ground. Well, I could go on and on, but I want to get to reading a few posts. I look forward to many enjoyable conversations.

Well, welcome Hairy..... I hope you have fun with the crazy bunch, there are many serious tomato growers around here too, and many many other kinds of serious ardeners.

If you need anything, just say it, I don't think there is a more generous place on the net...

Finally gardening on sandy loam

I'm like the stealth inviter, these days! No time for posting - I come in to read, drop off another member, and I'm off again!!!

Our house should close the 6th... then I may have some time online again. Phew!

Glad you joined, HMK! Way less drama here, and LOTS of really smart people.

I'm cool like the other side of the pillow...
