    Hello everyone! I'm Lisa, a fun gardener from Michigan. I came across this site while looking for some communities of fellow avid gardeners and I am very excited to be here!

    I am a big fan of vegetable gardening, as well as flowers, sunfowers mostly :) I hope to have a great time with all of you!

    Lisa, Welcome to our little group. Please tell us about your veggie garden. You must be getting a good start at this point.

    Thank you Marlin! I have been looking around and I must say I am really enjoying my stay :) This is a lot more "colorful" compared to some of the forums I joined earlier this week. I hope to have a great time here.


    Thank you for the welcome, Waretop! I am, and it is quite pleasant with the cool season vegetables right now. I've been looking to adding new greens in my patch and I'm thinking cabbages, maybe. Since it has been a while when I've last grown them. Smile

    Hi there Lisa and a warm welcome to GardenStew from Scotland in the UK. You must tell us all about your sunflowers - what is the tallest one you've ever grown? Have you ever planted red ones? Which is your favourite variety? So many questions that you'll just have to stick around here for a looong time to answer them all. :p I look forward to getting to know you. :-D

    Hi Lisa and welcome to our awesome gardening group, from a chilly (hopefully the last one for a couple of seasons) northern Ohio.

    Welcome from your southern neighbor :D I think this is one of the more active and friendly boards around, at least Ive stuck with it a lot longer than the others Ive been on :)
    Sunflowers are neat, I usually grow a few just cause I like how big they get. I do have mexican sunflowers right now, but theyre still itty bitty things.

    Hi Lisa and welcome from SE Texas. I found this forum around 3 years ago trying to ID a plant... and have been here every since.
    Can't wait to see what all you're growing... especially all of your sunflowers!
