    Hi I'm Kevlarster,

    I live 30 miles north of Pittsburgh PA exactly on the border of zones 5b & 6a. My friends say I have a "Green Thumb", but I think plant care is just common sense and a little research, it also helps to be passionate about the living things around you.
    I thought it would be fun to grow a coffee plant, so I Googled it and wound up here.
    I look forward to talking with you and hopefully learing a thing or two.

    Kevlarster

    Morning Kevlarster and a warm welcome to our forums here at The Stew.

    I hail from West Lothian in Scotland where, at the moment, it's rather wet. Do tell us all about the plants you grow as we love to find out what others have success with.

    Hi Kevlarster and a warm welcome to GardenStew. I think anyone can be a gardener if they just use their common sense, you are correct. Some have the extra special motivaton, the "green thumbers" :)

    Glad you found us. Don't miss our blogs, member map and calendar.

    Thanks Gang,
    I look forward to getting to know you. My first comment would be to let you know that I planted 2 Grallagh's Gold perennials 4 years ago and they have taken over an area approx 15' x 60', they have also replanted themselves 75' away from the original planting bed. They seem to thrive in the arid clay soil we have around here.

    Anthemis 'Grallagh's Gold' is a beautiful daisy, just might have to see if I can find it here.
