I love to see new members joining this forum. We have such a nice group here, and seeing it grow (pun intended) is so great. However, please let us know a bit about you and your gardening when you join. Where you are from (not just USA, but e.g., Wisconsin) gives us an idea of the challenges and advantages you have. Saying if you are new to gardening, an old hand, or expanding your interests tells us if we can share ideas and tips (I know absolutely nothing about bonsai, so wouldn't dare to advise). This is a good forum to make your first post on, telling a bit about yourself. We're all friends here, so don't be a stranger!
Yes, as MG said we are interested in getting to know new members and besides that we are a bit nosey So please feel free to add your introduction to our Welcome to GardenStew Forum
