Hey I’m Scotto. I live on eleven, mostly wooded, acres just in the edge of Tennessee, near Huntsville, Alabama. I usually grow peas, beans, onions, squash, melons, tomatoes, potatoes, okra, and a few flowers. My sugar snaps are up now, but nothing else planted yet.

Hi fellow gardeners, I live in So Cal in a microclimate that rarely ever freezes. Organic food seems abundant here so I usually only grow my own tomatoes and basil. Since we have been in a six-year drought, with only a little relief last year I had to switch a lot of my high water landscape and potted plants to drought-tolerant plants. I enjoy landscape design as a hobby and grow some tropicals and lots of succulents.

HI there, I have always been into flowers but don't do much for gardening when it comes to food plants. I have tried and failed each time. But my flowers do well for some reason so I stick with what I know. I am in the process of looking for a good tiller. I plan to do some flower circles about 6 ft around. Any suggestions on what type of tiller I should get?

Prairie restoration involves fire. December & March are the burn season. Oak Savannah involves fire also. It keeps the trees in check as a prairie with out fire or mowing is short lived. So with fire one gets woodland flowers & a festival of color in the summer & autumn prairie. Put up the third bat house & build a wood duck house. Clean the bluebird houses & relocate spiders to the outdoors. It's not work. It's SPRING! Yay! =0}

My name is John and I joined not too long ago. I am an avid butterfly gardener. I also raise and release Monarchs and Swallowtails from stock in my garden. I also grow and give away as much Milkweed and other pollinators friendly plants as possible in my small setup. I try to have two to three giveaways a season.
I have long been a skeptic, but it wasn't until about three years ago that I made the final step to being atheist. I simply accepted that our "souls" are NOT immortal.

Still not gardening weather. i drove home from east to west of the NY State thruway and encountered four or five differernt weather systemsunny and calm, snow storm and icy wind, cold and foggy and snow on the ground and the Mohawk river frozen in parts and running swiftly ten miles doen the road. I'll just garden vicariously through all your posts.

I'm Mark. I have 96 acres in Texas. Most in an environmental conservation easement; it's a restored short grass prairie. I have about 10,000 square feet of garden spaces that I can plant a farmer's market crop in. I'm building a tiny house on the site and hope to live there once again after having been in town since 1993.

Hello, I'm Paula. I'm a suburbanite in the cold frozen plains states. We heard a rumor that it was spring, and then we got snow again so we're figuring that was a lie. A damn lie! Any way when spring finally finds us I have two 4x4 raised beds and a deck with lots of pots. I love fresh tomatoes and experiment with other crops from time to time. I grew lots of basil last year and put up lots of pesto sauce. I work full time +, inside my house doesn't get much light, and have young cats. Not many plants indoors. I also have a compost bin and a worm box. It is about time to put in fresh bedding for the worms and dig the castings into the garden.

This is my assistant cactus gardener. He is excited about his job :-}

HA! I get it… The gardeners are "really starting to grow." It is still freezing here in central Illinois and our growing season does not start until May 1. I have several flats of perennials, annuals, and milkweed for the monarch butterflies that should be ready by May 1.

In the meantime, attached is a photo of my indoor "cactus garden." These are the smaller ones hogging most of the actual daylight that we get into the house during the winter. Once I move them to the outdoor cactus garden, I will send an update. It may sound strange never having lived west of the Mississippi, but I've always been fascinated by cactus. I did get to visit the Sequoia National Park once, which was fabulous!. Does anyone else have a "thing for cactus?"

I am Tricia. Projects? Hmm....looking for a really good partner is turning into quite the project! I am into health, yoga, puzzles, reading, inappropriate humor, and baking sourdough bread. I am new to this site and happy to have found you all.

Yes we are growing that's for sure. BTW we have another post with member names but maybe Paul can merge his original list with this one. I'm Lisa, single, living again and trying to spring clean too -declutter.

Hi everyone. I’m Donto. I have 2.2 acres in central Florida just about an hour north of Tampa. My land is prone to some flooding so I’m working on ways of building it up and putting in so drainage ponds to control it. My mainly want to do a food forest. So far I have bananas, pineapples, peaches, mangoes, strawberries, some nut trees, and a few other fruits and herbs growing. We also have chickens and buck in a pen that will become a garden once we get another built so we can rotate them.

Hello all! I am working on establishing a pollinator friendly perennial garden space. I am north america zone 4/5. The bulbs are starting to peak up but the weather needs to warm a bit more before they can pop!

I'm Kristy. My current project is spring cleaning if it ever gets here!
