Hi all, I am in western NY, two miles from the Lake Erie shores, and am in zone 6b. (Yes, zone 6... never gets under zero degrees here). Sure was glad to find such a wonderful forum.You guys are the greatest!! I am 64 years old and I have been gardening, in one way or another, since I was 6. The older I get, the more I relize how little I know about the subject. My main gardening interests are Biointensity (John Jeevers style)and survival living. I just started, this year, to convert 2 acres of old grapes to double dug raised beds of wegies. Needless to say, I haven't gotten very far, but I am retired so time is my biggest ccomodity. Hope to get through the winter talking to you all, Charlie

Hi Charlie, welcome to the Stew from north Texas. Hope to hear lots from you about your vegie garden and see pictures too.
Thanks, one and all, for y0ur wondeful welcoming. I hope I'll be able to discuss my love of biodivesity all winter long. It's not that much different than any other good organic style. This is my second attempt to write this note. The first got timed out when i went to preview.If thiss one works, I'll use this from now on. Love and peace through our gardens, Charlie
Charlie, I have been an organic gardener all my life. For the 18 ish years that I was a professional gardener, I insisted my clients had organic gardens. Their allergies stopped, they learned to love their gardens. Sure are glad to have you here.
Hi Charlie, I guess we will learn the ropes together. I just registered this morning. First love roses, but interested in everything growing.
