Re: Welcome!

Greetings,

>What about the rest of you?  What are your interests?  Your backgrounds?

I garden on two acres about 20 miles Southwest of Chicago's loop.  My 
special interests are two-fold.  First, I am attempting to persuade every
bumblebee in Illinois to relocate to my property by establishing both
habitat (nest boxes) and native food sources in abundance.  Second,
I start all plants from seed (about 3000 per year).

I obtain my seed through trading.  Two of the plants mentioned in today's
posts (Silene regia and Rattlesnake master) are seeds which I will be
attempting to germinate this spring, along with quite a few species of
other prairie plants such as asters, goldenrods, spurges, penstemons, etc.

My background?  Two inconsequential degrees a long time ago, I've been
everywhere, done everything, in pursuit of cash.  'Couldn't make a dime
if I found a quarter on the sidewalk.  Good at everything else, though.
Expert at nothing.            

Do I qualify?
