As you can tell, I love to ride! We bought a new home (new to us) last July on 2 acres and I'm ready to garden! Come on Spring! I'm planning on doing a lot of flower containers. Just got the bathtub and toilet which will be filled with flowers and metal stock tanks for our vegetable garden. To keep busy this Winter I've been making Plant Terrariums.

Hi okietriker, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas. Oh, 2 acres of potential gardens. Sounds like a bit of heaven. Any photos of your acreage, especially 'before' shots then progress shots as your gardens develope would be greatly appreciated by all of us.
I will get the photo's done. I'm so excited for Spring to get here and get started! Thanks for the welcomes!
Hey... 3 Texans welcoming you in a row! I used to ride years ago. Sure miss it. Anyhow... welcome! Can't wait to see all of those acres being filled with flowers and veggies.
Just for a change welcome to GardenStew this time from Scotland in the UK. I'll look forward to seeing your photographs and hearing all about the flowers and veggies you're going to grow.

Hi Okietriker, welcome to the 'Stew' from Chelmsford MA. You have found the friendliest garden group on the internet. Welcome aboard. Jerry
Hi Okietriker, welcome from a distant land. I am sure your garden will turn out to be as nice as your ride!
Welcome from Illinois, you will like the Stew. There are a lot of fun and good gardening helpers here.
Welcome! Your terrarium is what the weather has made me contemplate doing. I was even thinking of going and looking for some suitable jars, but just browsed online. Can't wait to see photos of your gardens.
Terrariums jewel, I get most of my jars at Wal-Mart, mainly the 2 gallon ones. I also add a frog, snake, turtle, butterfly, lizard OR ladybug to them. Small fake ones of course! I do sell some but I can't have regular houseplants because of my 2 cats so I started the terrariums. ( photo / image / picture from okietriker's Garden )
That jar is perfect. I will be going to Wally World and be on the lookout. I have some plants that will be perfect. Indoor gardening season ya know. The critters are a perfect.
