    Im new here, no kidding lol. Anyhow, I am mostly a wildlife/invertebrate guy from Florida but I love plants as well so I hope to learn more about them here. My grandfather owned a farm and grew flowers for FTD florist in NJ and I remember visiting and seeing rows and rows of different colors. But I didnt quite get his green thumb qualities.

    Hi Fred, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.
    I have never 'met' a bear guy before. Didn't realize there were bears in Florida actually, I lived in West Palm Beach for about 5 years in another life, just remember alligators being the main problem.

    You never know for sure what color your thumbs are until you start playing in the dirt. I'll bet we can help you get started on a really nice garden.

    Hi Fred and a hearty welcome to GardenStew from Sweden. You don't need to have a green thumb to hang around here so don't worry :)

    Fred you can post photos to your Garden here and then when you are writing a new post use the 'Insert a photo from your Garden' link to add a photo to your post.

    yep, but everytime I try it kicks me off line, its weird, I have all my pics on another forum Arachnophiles.com and Im a moderator on that forum and no problems so I dont know whats up. My user name is "Butterpat" there.
    shoot this is frustrating, I wish I was a computer geek

    Hi there Fred and welcome to our forums from a very snowy Scotland. I hope you manage to work out how to post your photographs as I'd love to see them. :stew2:
