Well I am just getting started with the forum/blog world. I have for many years used computers and email and browsed the web but never actually gotten "into" the web. It is pretty fun. Some friends and I have a web site of our own and my area is gardening, health, home repair and improvement. I found this site from an ad on our site and was very impressed with the information to be had here. I hope this will make me a better gardener. I hope to help others as well as I can. I have gardened for several years with varying degrees of success. My family and I moved out of the city about 5 years ago just before my son was born to a rural area with some land that allows me a larger garden. This is good as we are vegetarians. I want to be able to grow lots of healthy food because quite frankly it is expensive to be a vegetarian. My wife is a "domestic engineer" that homeschools our two kids so gardening is a good way to get our kids active outdoors and nature is its own classroom. Thanks Green
Welcome to our forums GreenMachine. I look forward to hearing all about your garden and, maybe, seeing some photographs of it. :-D

Hello Green Machine Welcome to Gardenstew from southern Ontario! I think it is fabulous that you home school your children! I wish I would have done that with my own kids.
Thanks for the welcome. I hope to have some pictures up this weekend. I have just recently added a strawberry box to my garden area as well as two 4x12 raised beds. My soil is pretty poor so raised beds work well for me. I also have several thornless blackberry plants I shared with some friends today. It is amazing how those things will sprout if a vine is left onthe ground for a bit. I'll bet I had 15 new plants spring up this spring from vines that had fallen off of the fence. Green
