Hello Dixie and Glad you have come to share with us and learn. I live in Eastern IA near the bend in the ole Mississippi River. I also have a cousin that lives near you in Hixson, TN. Small world.
Welcome Dixie from sunny California. I too like cottage style gardening. It goes well with our victorian home. Hope you stay a while and get to know us. You will really enjoy being a part of our gardening family.
Forgot to add, I'm (one of) the black sheep of our dysfunctional family. Don't take anything I say seriously. And now you can't say you didn't get warned...
No problem NMG, we love sheep of every color and thumbs of every color, although green thumbs are well-loved here on TEG. Most of all we love new members! Welcome, Dixie! We are happy you re-found us and glad to have you here.
