After reading a few threads, I wanted to introduce myself to this community. I look forward to sharing ideas with other forum members on how to make my garden more exciting. We have spent many hours planting flowers and growing veggies. Still, I am always open for new suggestions. Living in the rain forest, things grow so fast. Best regards, Richard
Welcome to GardenStew Richard. :-D You must show us some photographs of your garden and also some pictures of your local flora and fauna. I love to see what people in other countries can produce and what native wildlife they have. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Eileen, Thank you for your reply and warm welcome. I will let my girlfriend take the pictures. If my friends in Philadelphia heard me talking about my beautiful garden, I would never hear the end of it. Hopefully, you can come and visit one day. Costa Rica has some of the most amazing plants and wildlife. Best regards, Richard
Richard and welcome to the Stew from East Texas. So glad you found us and decided to join. We are a friendly bunch, and also inquisitive. Like Eileen said we love to see pictures. From the pictures I have seen of CR it is a very beautiful place. Kuntrygal
Hello Richard Welcome to Gardenstew from southern Ontario! I'd love to see some photos too. I'm sure there are many things growing in a rain forest that I've never heard of before!
Hello Richard..........and welcome from sunny Arizona. I love Costa Rica!.......the land is beautiful and so are the people. I have been there a few times and always anxious to go back and see more. I hope your girlfriend can take some pictures for us here. All of us love photos!
kuntrygal, Netty and cactusflower, Ladies, a true pleasure to meet you. Thank you for making a new comer feel most welcome. I will work on those pictures.
A warm welcome to you from mid-Norway! I'll probably oooh and awww at everything you show since your home place is so different from mine.
Welcome Richard to the stew from So. ME. This guy I used to work has a mother who lives in CR. I've never been there myself, but have heard it's very beautiful. I can't wait to see the pics your girlfriend will take. Hop on in and enjoy!
Thanks everyone. Good to be here. Griphook Not really a problem if you know who to relate to a monkey. Do not leave anything where a monkey can grab it. Be careful not to bother a mother with it's kids and finally, share a banana if you have one available. They will greatly appreciate it.
Welcome from the Catskill Mountains of NY! I bet you have lots of beautiful birds there too. A friend of a friend just recently moved down there and opened up a gymnasium.(I'll have to find out what town)
The monkeys look so cool swinging from the trees! What about your plants and garden do they every bother? We live at a private airport community here in the desert and we have gated access...........well, there is a wall but they leave overlapping gaps so the wildlife can get in and out. We had a Javelina invasion last night (they run in heards usually) so this morning I woke up to empty flower pots!!!! I am curious if monkeys like any garden foods!?!?!
cactusflower I am actually quite familiar to where you live. Beautiful place to be. My Mother lives at Gainey Ranch and I come to visit every 3 months.
