    Hi, I've been trying to get back into gardening more, and look forward to meeting other gardeners on this forum.

    Thanks to bad knees and two large dogs, I'm a container gardener. For some reason, tomatoes don't seem to thrived when they're dragged across the yard by a 90-pound mutt.

    Ginger :)

    Welcome gingersplace from mid-Norway. This is a good place to be. I'd love to see photos of your containers and mutt. :)

    Hi Ginger!

    Fantastic!! Two new members to say hello to. :-D I hope you'll both become regulars here at GardenStew. Welcome gingersplace and swicchic88 to our forums from a very cold and frosty Scotland.

    Gingersplace I agree a 90lb dog dragging your plants around does them no good at all!! We had a Great Dane that thought our twelve rose trees were there just for her to pull up by the roots and toss about the garden. :rolleyes:

    Hi Ginger, welcome to the Stew from north Texas. No mutt to drag my plants but there is a rogue opossum in the neighborhood that has tried that a few times.

    Hi Patti, welcome to the Stew also.

    Lots of things to learn and fun to have here.
