Re: [SG] Welcome

Hi Deb,
        Goodness, another Hoosier. Looks like Indiana is joining the Shade Gardens
List. I am down in the southern part of the State about 32 miles north and
east of Louisville, KY.
        Sounds as though you planted seeds in the garden and seeds of knowledge
and in the children. It is good to see those grow and mature into their own
interests knowing where they came from. My oldest son is passionate about
plants, writing and cooking. We also share other interests, but these three
we talk most about. Real proud of him. His book on the Civil War is coming
out now.
        There has recently been some long lists of shade plants suggested on this
list. Hope that you caught them. If not you can check out my web site.
There is a 32 page hard copy catalog with some photos there for you to
read, along with some articles in the newsletter section.
        If you ever get pointed in this direction, please let me know. I always
enjoy sharing my garden.
