    Welcome, Flowerpower, from coastal mid-Norway. I'd like to see your goats, pigs, hens and gardens, and hear all about them. :)

    Hi flowerpower and welcome to GardenStew 8) I would love to see some photos of your pot-bellied pigs if it's possible. I've always believed them to be adorable :)

    Don't forget to check out our blogs, member map and calendar.

    Thanks for the nice welcome! I will definitely post pics. I just have to resize them. I already have a photobucket acct.

    Droopy & Frank- I see you are both in Europe :) Any chance either of you grow Lingonberry? They are extremely hard to find here. But they are so good.

    Hi Flowerpower, welcome to the Stew from north Texas.

    I visited The Baseball Hall of Fame when I was 7....oh lordy, that was almost 55 years ago :eek:
    I do remember the museum and the beautiful countryside, we were in Endicott for that summer while my Dad was in 'basic training' with IBM.

    *searching the web*

    Ah, so that's what they are called! I don't grow them. If I want them I pop out and pick them. Must confess I haven't done that for a couple of years.
