Hey there from Maryland. Nice to see you here from Portsmouth, VA. I lived in Norfolk for 5 years when I went to EVMS. Lived right in Ghent, across the street from the Naro Theatre, if it's still there. I loved living there. I think about going back sometimes... It's a nice part of the East Coast, don't you think? Are you in the Navy?

Welcome to Garden Stew from the mountains of western North Carolina. I love your daffodil pictures, they look great! Mine are just starting to come up so it will be awhile. Hope you have as much fun here as I do.

Hi there Tonya and a warm welcome to GardenStew from West Lothian in Scotland.
Your daffodils are gorgeous. I'm still waiting for mine to flower but it shouldn't be too long now.

Hi Tonya, Greetings from East Tennessee. We lived in Northern VA for 23 years, my husband retired from the Marine Corps. We had orders to Little Creek but they were cancelled and we ended up at Quantico.
One of our best friends lives in Suffolk and when we visit she takes me to all the great garden centers in the area. I know we visited a really nice one in Portsmouth but I don't remember the name. Welcome to the Stew
