Please join me in saying "Happy Anniversary" to all our fellow subscribers who joined us mid-summer either 1, 2 or 3 years ago!

P.S. Next month DG will be four years old. My, how time does fly when you're having fun (and look how we've grown!)

I am happy to be here and very thankful for the friends I have met. I also think it is totally awesome to have met Dave, Trish and Terry in the flesh-what neat people!! The best thing about DG is that it is run by people like us that enjoy gardening and life as we do, not by some stuffy corporation where you never have any idea who is sending you an email. There are so many safeguards in place as well as a total lack of advertising and pop ups!! I'll always be thankful to Mystic for getting me to try something new. I had been at another website for years and was miserable, but couldn't leave "what I knew". My only complaint-I always want to spend my spare time here and well, I really shouldn't have any spare time! LOL

Michele, you said it perfectly. Can't add a thing...well, except I have a lot more time on my hands than you do LOL....DG buddies are the BEST! Thanks Dave, Trish, & Terry!

Gosh, I looked at the names in the first list and thought, "Surely they were here when I joined?" Then felt almost the same when looking at the 2002 list.

Glad y'all came and stayed!

What a Family we have, and still fertile. (Badseed, DO NOT read anything into that! LOL)

Did I hear the F word?? Fertile??? I guess I am still young enough. LOL

Happy Anniversary to a great group of folks.

hah....the F word? (There ain't a bad seed IN Badseed~!)


Happy anniversary, ya'll! DG grows and grows and grows, like our gardens!
