Just joined? Announce yourself

I've been in Brooklyn. To a place on Gun Hill Road. Brian lived there before he joined the Navy and he took me there after we got married. That was a few years ago. Brian's family live in upstate New York. Around Newburgh. His mom lives in Penn Yan. You must be a Steeler fan if you are from Pittsburgh. Doolely

 

Greetings from sunny Florida!

Hello all... I'm a 30 year old stay-at-home mom of a crazy 3 year old and wife to a wonderful computer programmer.

I grew up around veggie gardening and now that I have the time and my own home I'm eager to become a full-time gardener. To ease myself into it, I've decided to start an herb garden first, since I've been growing basil & rosemary for a few years now in pots variously scattered.

I've read some in most of the forums, and I'm very happy to have found such a great resource with such seemingly kind community!

My first question: Is it my best bet to buy seeds/plants locally, or off the internet? TIA!

 

Thank you both! I look forward to learning a lot!

 

Hello, I am Bobby
I live in the heart of East Texas, USA. Beautifull piney woods, rolling hills and hollars, and the great Lake Fork. I farmed commercially for a while, well most of my life off and on. Not doing it right now, weather and climate changes have deterred me for a spell. Now I just do a 30 X 30 garden in the backyard. Trying to convert it to organic little by little. We grow yellow squash, purple hull peas, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers and a few watermelons every year. Enough to feed us and put up about 50 jars for the winter.

 

Hello All,
I just joined earlier today. I've been a patio gardener for the past several years, but this year I'm in a house with a yard. Yeah! So far, I've only done a small flower bed and some container stuff on my back patio. I'm looking forward to doing some real gardening though. I just started seeds indoors last night. I live in Jacksonville, FL and will hopefully be able to be planting a lot outside soon. So far, I have lettuce growing outside but that's it.

I chose my login name because out of 3 children, I'm the only one that has any urge to garden. My mother always had a fantastic garden. She passed away 12 years ago and gardening always makes me think of her and smile.

Look forward to getting to know everyone,
Trish
