    I just joined. All I did was put the word 4 o'clocks in the search bar and got this site, and it was so interesting I just had to join. Hope to make a lot of friends here and maybe trade a few seeds when that time comes.
    Living in western N.C. for the past 7 years has been a gardening challenge, since we live where rocks abound. Water is abundant in the form of streams and undergrounds springs. A garden near the pond is a real plus this year.

    Welcome craftbug [​IMG] waving to you from the other side of the state.

    No rocks here, just sand :-? . . . . . plenty of water [​IMG] but it's mighty salty.

    Hello craftbug, from hot, humid Louisiana where we garden in clay.

    Welcome to the Stew Craftbug, from north Texas. Very happy you joined us. I don't garden rocks but in mid summer when the rain is very scarce the black clay I lovingly call soil is hard as rock.

    Thank you all for the warm welcomes. :)
    Lived in Ohio for most of my life, been down here for 7 years and loving it. As for crafts, I will try anything once. My favs are crochet, card making and rubber stamps. Not sure of my way around here yet, but will be sure to post some pics when I find out where.
