    Hi folks! I have made a few posts, but figured I should throw out a hello!

    Great forum! I have spent hours reading through the posts and the content is very educational and members seem very helpful. Awesome.

    I grow veggies in raised beds and containers, grow hastas, wildflowers, and maintain trellis perennials.

    I am venturing down the road of hydroponics. So far it has been a fascinating trip! This winter will be the first run-through.

    Thanks for having me!!

    Welcome to the Stew from the rather wintery coast of western Norway. :stew2: What sort of winter climate do you have? Any chance of seeing some lovely colours from you tide me over to spring I wonder?

    Thank you for all the "welcomes"!!

    Not much color left here!!! Maybe some shots of the indoor garden, but everything will soon be a blend of white and gray.

    And what is the weather like in Western Norway right now? Are you full-on winter yet?

    We've got hail, but no frost or snow right now. I don't want any either, but I guess I have no choise. :D

    Uggggghhhh. I don't mind a blizzard, but hail is ugly no matter how it comes.

    And Frank, will do (post pics). Not sure where to post as of yet.

    Welcome to GS from Karachi Pakistan! I too am new here, and I agree that the members here are most polite, helpful, and very well experienced! :)

    Like you I too had once experimented with hydroponics - However these days I am reading up on plant tissue culture.

    But I actually joined this place because I want to exchange seeds! :-D Once again, welcome to GS - I am sure you also will soon become a valued member over here. :)

    Karachi? Your command of the English language is very good if you are Pakistani. Are you a contractor by chance? Pushing things to the northwest? 8)

    No, I'm a local resident of Karachi's coastline. Was born and raised in Karachi! :)

    By the way, Pakistan attained independence from the British in 1947 (after almost 200 years of rule). So for all Pakistanis, English is more or less a second language... :)
