Hello Everyone, My name is Teri and I started my gardens 8 years ago when we built our retirement home. I made so many planting mistakes until I hit on the on line garden clubs. My first encounter was with Dave's Garden. I found this site because that name popped up each time that I searched for plant info. Then there was cubits.org and now we have ATP. It just keeps getting better. When we moved here, the property was just a huge mass of either mud or weeds. The whole 2 1/2 acres had been part of a huge farmland. The first thing that we did was to put in 10 trees. Very slowly we added to this until we now have more than I can handle. It's been such fun learning and making good friends here. I hope one day that this forum produces its very own plant swap. I've been to a few and they are lots of fun. Let's see where we go from here!!!!~!
