Good to be back!

Hello!

It's been a long time! My name is Martyn. I joined Dave's in 2004 when I lived in Colorado. I left Colorado and moved to Portland, Oregon in 2007. Upon my move out, we got stuck overnight in a freak snowstorm in late April and I lost every single plant I was moving out to Oregon with me, including all of my beloved Brugmansias, very sad. After that, I left gardening.

I stayed in Portland for a year, moved to Minneapolis (too cold), then to NYC (too expensive) and then back to Portland four years ago, where I completed college and graduated as a well-establashied graphic designer and photographer.

I am ready to dig back into the soil! I've seen some names on here I recognize and I hope to see more around. I no longer own a house, I rent, so I am looking to just start with container gardening.

Happy summer!

Martyn

Welcome back! I'm in Arroyo Grande, CA, zone 9a (occasionally 8b, LOL) What kind of plants are you interested in?
I have lots of extras and even sell plants on Craigslist some. I have lots of succulents they make good container plants.
I could send you some for postage.
