Just found this site and am amazed-

I typed in the words seed trading in a search engine and found this site---- I know it is late in the season to trade plants but I have some still available--- I would love to find some bulb I could trade perennials or a handmade garden sign from cedar!!!! I have lots of seeds I have freshly collected and would love to find some different varieties--- Hope I can find some people to trade with--- Now a little about myself---- I am a third year college student and am currently landscaping my property--- willed to me from my grandmother-- very fortunate!!!! IF you have seeds to trade or
plants give me a email- Tracy

Welcome to DG, Tracy! I think you will find (as so many of us have) that DG is a warm, hospitable gardenspot, filled with informed and helpful people. Enjoy!

Welcome Tracy, another Arkansan here!

bitty1---where are you at in Arkansas? I am between Heber Springs and Pangburn-- Tracy

Bloomluver...mostly all the seeds I have are gourds...but you are certainly welcome to those...email me if you are interested and I will tell you what kind I have. (just click on my name Roadrunner and it wil take you to my home page and you can email me from there).

Welcome, by the way...you will LOVE this garden.
Jo

Great looking garden, Tracy. How does a college student ever have the time to garden?

Welcome to DG!

It is called spot lights and no doze medicine---hahaha I have to have time for the garden---- Tracy

Welcome bloomluver. I am a new member of this site too. I agree with you that it is a wonderful site. Dave did a wonderful thing when he created this site.
I have to have that outside time too. I just go outside in the morning when i leave and walk around some before getting in the truck and it is like a tranquilizer for me. It is so serene.
You are so fortunate to have the property your grandmom willed to you. Keep it as long as possible if not forever. Most people arenot so blessed as you are.
As i get seed to trade with everyone i will post something here and let everyone know. Take care, Robbie

tracy - welcome to daves. whatever you are looking for, you will find here. everyone is soooo helpful. enjoy

Welcome Tracy. You've got a busy life! What a pretty house you have, it looks like something out of a storybook and the garden looks beautiful. Tell us, what are you studying? You'll enjoy this site, the people here are great, generous and helpful, friendly and fun.

Take a guess what I am studying? Yep you are right-- Horticulture--- One day I hope to have a successful wholesale greenhouse business! Like my Grandmother used to say... IF you are going to dream you might as well dream BIG! thanks Tracy

Welcome, Tracy. Glad to have you here!

smiln32--- I am addicted to this garden--as you can tell by my post!!! I joined to late though---it is getting cold!!!! Tracy

bloomlover, I love your flowers and especially your house with the rock siding. Really nice picture!

welcome!

Thank you all--- I enjoy this site and everyone is soooooooooooo friendly!!!!!

Oooooooh! What a lovely garden!!!!! Welcome bloomluver! I'm from the north of England - your garden looks amazingly like an English country garden!!!!

Northerner--- Thanks so much! One day I hope to have a country cottage garden! Tracy

I've got just the country cottage for you Tracy! It's a well-known thatched cottage in the village of Thornton-le-Dale on the North York Moors. The Moors are south of where I live. I took this photo on a day out earlier this year. The village is often called the prettiest in North Yorkshire, and this cottage of used for photos on front of boxes of chocolates, biscuits, calendars etc. I could see you living here!

yeah, turn itinto a Bed and Breakfast so we can all visit you. Jo

Boy wouldn't that be Great!!!! I will just move there and open the Bed and Breakfast and then everyone could bring their favorite plant to place in the garden--- I would plant Echinacea--- What would you plant? I have got to add this to my things to do list!!!! hahahaha---

There is a gorgeous garden too - this photo was taken in the spring before the garden was at its best. I took some photos later in the summer - don't have them on me today. I expect it must become tiring have loads of day-trippers swarming outside your doorstep, photographing your home.

This house is pretty expensive - it was sold not too long ago - a year or two ago. The new owners have had trouble with their next-door neighbour though - she objected to them putting up some aerials and she put a garden hose through to their attic - it was a court case. Even in Paradise there was a serpent!!!!

I hope you enjoy Dave's!

I put up photos of the North York Moors occasionally - I go on jaunts at the weekends. Most of my jaunts are over for the season now though, as autumn is heading for winter. Storms on their way over England!

I can't believe someone would do that! God bless the new owners! It is a beautiful place. I have a teen age daughter who would love to live in England. But mom says no way--(no offense) but that is a little too far to come home on the weekends. But she is "addicted" to England and Ireland. Tracy

What a pretty place! Thanks for sharing that with us.

Welcome bloomy!
