Welcome!

I have been a struggling gardener for years!

I keep trying because, despite my set backs (I am a problem magnet! ), I learn at least one new thing with each garden I plant.

I am presently looking into a solar batch heater for my house, as a starting point. Won't save me any electricity (w/h is gas), but it seems like a good learning project, to get me started in the right direction!

Welcoming group! Thank you all for such a warm welcome!

I've been poking around, reading old posts. This place is great! I've been looking for a forum like this for quite a while. Can't believe I haven't found you before now!

I read one thread where someone said that everyone here is quirky. Oh boy! That describes me, for sure. I ought to fit right in. Just ask my neighbors!

Welcome from a northern neighbour.
We visit Louisville a few times a year. Have you been to their Habitat Restore?

Welcome from central Kansas!

No, I haven't visited the Habitat Restore, but it is on my list of things to do. It sounds very interesting.

You are quirky? Kewl......you will fit right in.

I'm from WA state and we had a terrible year for gardening this year. I did well with the potatoes and pumpkins however.

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! I am enjoying this forum and already learning a lot!

So what sort of fall projects are you working on? Is your garden still going or mostly done for the year?

I'm in Kentucky, too!

Just moved here about a month ago. We are new to gardening, having planted our first veggie crop this past season while living in Virginia. That was awesome!

We have chickens for eggs and meat and will be getting some sheep for meat and breeding.

We are working on putting together our own free-energy generator so we can, among other things, have a year-round greenhouse.

I'm amazed at the accomplishments of the members here, and I intend to learn a lot here!
