It just is such a joy to watch things grow from almost nothing at times. Breaking through sometimes even the hardest obsticles from the previous year's seeds that were left behind. Walking a few minutes through the *little* gardenplaces I so far was able to make since last year and seeing new growth, a new blossom, that is energizing .........and it goes and goes and goes *lol* Kylie I am sure we share the passion for Gardening and YES WOW having found another person in the same CITY loving brugs....YES I feel lucky go happy. Then coming in from working on another flower/vegetable bed, sitting down a few minutes and reading posts and getting to know each one of you better post by post......is just as relaxing. Thanks to everybody.

Cottage Garden and Perennials are my main forums. I usually check them a couple times a day if I have time. Seed Exchange has recently become another favorite spot of mine. Tomato forum That is about all. In winter, when there is nothing else to do, I will poke around the other forums and look at pictures posted months earlier. CMK

I vote for this one too. I know this is Garden Web, so a meat thread is kind of OT, but...Curing meat and making sausage is a way of preserving...we have our own animals, so it's sort of like growing our own meat ;)

Buehl, please do! I was just trying to save something of use. I'd been checking the GW all night, turned my back for 15 minutes to watch the Health Care vote, and whammo! all the posts were gone. I kept refreshing, thinking, "This can't be!"
