    Hey guys, my name is Iris, and I just joined. Y'all seem like a great bunch. I'm 27, and live in the southern US. We have lovely weather for gardening all year. I'm married and have an eight year old son, and we grow mostly herbs and veggies. Well, talk to you all later.

    Just joined, looking forward to learning from all of you. Also aiming to use the blog feature to track my work here in my yard. (a blank slate, waiting for gardens!)
    I'm in the US, WA state specifically. We grow moss really well up here! :)

    I'm involved witha new frugal gardening site, which is a good mix......I'm really cheap & I love to garden. I've only been at my new place 5 months, the previous owners must have hated gardening, there isn't much here to work with.

    I've got a cup of tea, I'm heading off to explore the site.

    Salutations!

    Thought I ought to say hello here - I openly admit I only have limited time to be posting here, but I really enjoy what you have going.

    I'm a part of a charity community garden here in Oregon, learning to care for an acre that we moved to last year, seeking to reverse the neglect it had and loving the established plants I have found underneath the weeds. I am the librarian for a private Christian school (nice to be there for my 3 kids) and I sometimes dabble in art. My favored themes are gardens, poetry and Tolkien (I admin an active LOTR site with creative writing).

    I am very pleased to meet all of you!

    Hi Primsong :smt039 , welcome to our blooming community! I love your name, where did you get it from? You must provide us with a link to your LOTR site so we can check it out :D

    Must dash now but I just wanted to pop in and welcome you. I hope you find some time in the future to post here ;)

    Primsong lovely to have you aboard!!! What type of art do you dabble in? I do pen and ink sketches, watercolour, pastel and oil paintings - when I have the time. :D

    Tolkien is a favourite of mine too. Loved the LOTR trilogy - books and films. :smt026

    Looking forward to getting to know you. :)

    Thank you for the warm welcome! I paint with acrylics and watercolor and am playing around with illuminations - after seeing some illuminated manuscripts from the middle ages, I just had to try it. :D I mainly lack time, rather than interest.

    Always nice to meet more Tolkien fans! My site is the new home for the Official LOTR Fanclub - we moved to our own boards when the original host company became too commercial and unstable for our community (we're those mysterious people you see go by on the credits of the dvds). It's family friendly and I maintain an extensive archiving site, the LOTRScrapbook of all the creative writings, poetry, essays, etc. that have come from our people over the past four+ years.

    My name came from being Primula in the LOTR fan community (the name of Frodo's mother), and being inclined towards poetry and music as well as flowers it became Primsong elsewhere.

    Hello all

    I'm in Dayton, OH, enjoying my second-favorite time of year watching all the green stuff emerge and enjoying the rain, till it will suddenly switch to my least favorite time, ha-ha (just don't like that hot summer weather with no rain, I should be living up in Canada). Anyway, glad to join and read all the good advice I know you guys have to share and hope to see some Ohio folks here.

    Hi Cindy, welcome to the gardening madhouse :smt039 Lots of great people here so feel free to jump right into any of our topics :smt023

    I'm actually in agreement with you about the hot summers. I lived for a year and a half in Malta and in the Summer I was praying for the littlest raincloud to appear! I guess I'm just more of a damp weather type (I'm Irish by the way :D)

    Don't forget to read our fantastic member blogsand add your significant events (e.g. birthday) to our calendar8)

    :wave: there Cindy. Lovely to have you here with us. I agree about hot summers - much too draining. (Mind you we don't get many here in Scotland :D :D)

    I think spring is my favourite season as that's when everything comes alive again in the garden. :D

    Hoping to get to know you better real soon.
