    Been a member since 2006 but health and divorce became issues. I am so glad to be back!!!!!
    I am starting from scratch as I am now living in a house on a corner lot of only 1/4 acre (down from country acre). There is NOTHING but grass, no trees, no flowers, nothing. Going to be a challenge on a tight budget but will be enjoying every minute. :-D
    I have also become the new Community Gardens Manager in town (brand new gardens, not even plowed yet)so I am going to be gardening my little heart out. I met a lot of very nice people hear before and hope to renew with friends and make lots of new ones.
    Happy Gardening Everyone!!!! :-D

    Welcome Back GF. Sorry to hear of the health and marriage problems hopefully that is all in the past and the future looks bright thru your eyes :stew1:

    Congrats on the new position, would it be possible for us to see progress photos as you get the new gardens put in? And photos of your own garden as it progresses too.

    Well hello there!! :D It's great to have you back with us again GF as I was wondering where you'd disappeared to. Sorry to hear about your health problems and the divorce but, hopefully, you are looking forwards to a new start in life now.
    Great news about the job and your new home. I can't wait to hear what you're going to do with your 1/4 acre.
    Why not see what some of our members have on offer in the seed exchange forum - might be the ideal way to get started if you're on a low budget.

    WELCOME HOME. :-D

    Welcome back and will enjoy hearing about your progress at the community garden. Nothing better than starting from scratch in a bare plot :-D ...endless possibilities!
