    I am new and need help. I can't figure out what to do first. I signed up last night.
    This board was recommended by a friend on another forum.I have been a member there for 13 years and they are going onto facebook. I don't want to do that. I am not facebook material. I prefer a personal community.
    I am praying you are just that.
    I hope you all will help me find my way around
    Thank You :-D

    Welcome, and I'm sure you'll find this a friendly and helpful group.
    Tell us a bit about yourself and the type of gardening you like.
    We are on a small farm in Central Texas with chickens, bee hives, three veggie gardens, herb and flower gardens. Most of the folks on this forum are more organized than we are!

    Hi DMJ, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. You have made a great start by introducing yourself and already making some comments so I would say you are beginning to settle in.

    What kind of gardening do you prefer, do you have pets, photos of the garden or pets? We are nosy and love photos. ;)

    Hello
    My son lives in San Angelo Texas.
    I have a passion to grow ANYTHING that will grow. Inside or outside. I have 6 golden comet chickens.
    I am 58 and feeling 60 at the moment.
    I lived in MA for 49 years and moved here to South Carolina approx 9 years ago. It's a whole new learning process from MA gardening to SC gardening.
    It took me a while to find my way around here this morning, but I think I have it, FINALLY !!
    Will be back later. Hubby is out of cereal so I must go to the store. If I don't do it now I won't do it till tomorrow.
    Really can't put it off.
    LATER

    And a big hello to you DMJ from SE Texas.
    Please do take a look around at the forums and join in. What hooked me on this forum is that is "active".
    No waiting for days or weeks before you get any response to a question... it's almost instant!
    And oh yeah... there's so much fun & friendly chit-chat too!
