A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members New Here from Michigan

Hi everyone. This is the first time I have ever joined a gardening forum.
I am a member of several other BB's mostly horses, and this will be a refreshing change.
I mean how nasty can plant people be!
I am a so so gardener, I have just this year started really putting in some beds, I was very sporadic before, and I have so many questions all the time.
This BB may be the only way I will survive over the winter, We had a great summer but the older I get the less I like winter.
Thanks for this nice site!
Kim

welcome kim... and don't mind cricket, she's just our "class clown" (just teasing cricket ) we really are a friendly bunch and almost never have conflict, which, you are right, is a refreshing change. combined with a bunch of very friendly people, we have, in my humble opinion, the best site on the web!

Hi Kim. I welcomed you in your "deer" thread. But I can give you a big welcome here too. I do think you stumbled into a good group of people.

Wow thanks again, This is such a fun place. there is so much information I dont know where to begin. I also love the smileys, and the whole look of the boards.
It may take me a while to navigate and figure out how all the controls work.

You notice the bottom of my page dont you??????//

Alrighty Dodge, this is a test, I know its not where I should post pics.
This is my retired eventer, Truman. This is 4 years ago when we were still competing,
WE are both older and not in near as good shape.
He is 20 now, and is living the life of riley. He has tons of pasture buddys to hang with and We do some quiet trail rides now.
Hes my other form of mental health, I call it equine therapy. Just like the pplants are good for the soul!

good job, nice looking horse! i'd love to ride quiet trails... but couldn't do the jumping thing, it'd scared the snot out of me

LOL Jiffy, When you have done it your whole life its different. BUT I am content to just trail ride, turning 50 I have mellowed. I did the competing thing for 30 years. I am happy to just enjoy my old guy now.
The fall is my favorite time to trail ride, no bugs and the fall colors. :)

i love riding, but only trails. i might could have jumped in my MUCH younger years, but never had the chance. but i do love horses.

i did the trail bit , till they invented the 3 an 4 wheeler atv......
Found that easier to saddle....LOL Or got lazy.
i had 3 horses.

That is a beautiful truman....
My one horse was that shade of red .Quarter horse.
But I sure was not into that ......trails ok.

Your darn good......

Aww thanks Dodge, I was better in my youth, We did alright. We had fun.
:wink:
