If you are tuning in for the first time: I try to post flower/plant/garden images often, so if you don't care for chit-chat just skim past it.

Okay, time to start the thread for 2018...and...wow, year FOUR. Big Grin Can't believe I stuck with it this long. Wait, yes, I can! YOU guys are the best 'net friends ever. I give all the credit in the world to your support--it keeps me posting. Thank you. I tip my hat to you.

Y'all join in, jump in, browse, lurk, comment--there is no such thing as 'off topic' and the more we have with us digging in the dirt, sloshing through the rain, grumbling about the snow, or woeful about the heat, the merrier we will all be. Smiling

Last year's thread if you want to refer back to it.
The thread "My Garden and Other Stuff - 2017" in Garden Photos forum

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Don't have any images from the garden to get this year started. I did receive a (!)generous(!) gift certificate to Sutton Iris for my birthday. Think I will start this thread off with a couple I hope to get from them. Subject to change, of course, once the site actually OPENS for 2018 and I see what is new, right?

Hello all of Debra's peeps! I am going to winter sow this yr for the first time. I have had success with sowing zinnia seeds in the ground so I have delusions of grandeur that I will be successful with all the seeds that I am getting in a swap. Here here! Just call me Kabby-wan Kenobi. 😬
