Re: [SG] Introduction/ Brad

Hello Brad,
        And welcome to the list. Sounds like you have a great opportunity to have
some fun. How large an area do you intend to actively 'work'? Will you be
marking off pathways or using natural little 'rooms' formed by what is
already there? I like the concept of using or working from what is suggest
by the already existing before I go making anything new. Called going with
the flow.... Got tired of beating my head against a wall somewhere around
my mid-forties ;-))
        You do have a great climate for growing. Is there anything existing at
ground level? Any wildflowers you have observed as yet in flower?  I know.
Lots of questions.   Like to hear more.
