Hi ya'll! I'm Alyson, from East Tennessee! I am here hoping to get advice on plant care and maybe some creative ideas. I'm a total novice at gardening, though I have been trying to wing it for the past three years, you know, fake it til you make it? So far I have only a few variaties of plants and one little tree egad. But then, three years ago I started with dirt. And not even great dirt. I'm sure ya'll are regular fountains of knowlege though, I'm I'm gonna drink up!

no, just across the river. I have sat tv and they only local news I get is Memphis. Sometimes I pull up jonesboro when I'm on the computer, and sometimes my mom fills me in, she has an ann. and just gets 3 or 4 stations, one is jonesboro.

I'm just north of west memphis, Small town of Osceola (only I'm way out in the country) close to Missouri too.

Hi all from Utah, My name is Gayla. Been gardening a long time. Love my ponds and koi. Wanted to find some folk of the same mind set if I could. Good to see so many out there.

Hello all! I'm another newbie from Tennessee. I'm not too far from Thornius and I have family close to Faerywatcher. It really is a small world.
