    I really have a black thumb so I don't do much in the line of gardening but I am interested in the home and pets forums.
    Although, I did move to a new house this past year so maybe I'll try to do something with the gardens this spring. I may need ALOT of help! :)

    Hi there PuppyLove and a big welcome to GardenStew from Sweden. Don't worry about your black thumb, you'll see it turn increasingly lighter shades of green if you hang around here for long enough :)

    Don't forget to check out our blogs, member map and upload any plant images you have to PlantStew for all to see :stew1:

    My thumbs are quite black after I've been digging in the dirt a few hours or even minutes. The plants don't seem to care what color your thumbs might be as long as they get food and water and sunshine and if you need help with directions feel free to ask. You may get more than you ask for though. We are a helpful bunch. Welcome to the Stew. dooley

    Good morning, PuppyLove, from the coast of mid-Norway. :D I have to warn you that gardening is very addictive, but also very rewarding. There's lots of knowledge on this site, so I'm certain you'll get help. :stew2:

    Hello, PuppyLove, from Kuwait. I agree with everyone else. I went from a green thumb to a black one when I moved from the States to Kuwait. With all the great advice I have received here, I now have successful gardens here and my thumb is slowly changing back to green.
