    I knew I could, I knew I could. I know it wasn't a mountain that I was climbing but I made it.
    I joined Gardenstew 8 years ago today and today I reached 6,000 posts. I posted more in the earlier years. A lot of things happened during those eight years.
    I met a few of the members in person. It's a Great Lot of people who "live" here. I have enjoyed every minute of my time here and learned a lot from people from around the world. Members come and go and I miss some of the ones that have not posted in forever but new members come to replace them and it evens out. More new stuff to learn. I went and bought some neem oil yesterday to spray my trees and bushes that the grasshoppers are eating. Thanks, Philip!
    To all of the members who have responded to my questions I thank you and to all the members who have profited from my "good" advice, Iam happy I could help.
    I truly hope I will be sitting at a computer in another eight years celebrating post number 12,000. I would be 80 yrs old by then and still gardening even if it's on a box in front of a window.
    Thank you, for being such a happy, friendly group of people!

    Congratulations! I am fairly new to this forum but can see you have had a huge impact on it. I've seen your name appear regularly on posts when I have been looking through. Well done again dooley!
