I hope y 'all have a great anniversary party . I'm usually to be found sifting through the pages of the Sempervivum and Jovibarba forum . There's a wealth of information there , more than can be found in a million gardening books . Plus a really wonderful bunch of people from all over this now tiny globe .

congrats Dave & Trish. I remember the "struggles" after "Dave's Garden" and the transition first to "Cubits" community and then to ATP. Great stuff. The future still looks bright!

I used to take several gardening magazines and buy gardening books. Now with the net and more specifically ATP I find magazines and books seem redundant...........

I agree, Paul -- I still have a bookshelf full of gardening books (largely from Rodale), which I do refer to now and then, but my first choice now is the net. (who woulda thunk it?)

Ursula -- no need to feel stupid when we start making up our own words ! (which seems to happen quite a lot...)
