I may have totally missed this, but just in case I haven’t... I am a very new gardener, trying learn and absorb as much as I can over the last couple of years. I am slowly adding to a blank slate of a yard, whenever possible, and learning through successes and failure what I can do. I have never attempted a vegetable garden, but I am hoping i can make that happen this year. I would love any seeds that might be available for vegetable or flower garden. I am zone 7b.

Houzz: Has private messaging been removed as an option? I've read several complaints about not being able to message, and even though my messaging is turned on, another member verified that there is no 'Message Me' button on my member page. Thank you.
