Re: lurking

But you know so well - the sharing makes it ever so much more fun!
That's the greatest part because then you have all your gardening pals
w/ you - right there in the garden! Jesse's rose, Zem's moonflowers,
Judy's hellebore, Sally Ann's crinum,

Andrea's and Donna's garden ornaments, the rosemary I planted for
Bonnie, the seeds from everyone and so on. It's just the greatest! A
gardenchat garden indeed! Love it.
