Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Veggie garden pictures
I have a tiny garden area in the back where I am growing chard, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, dwarf citrus, cucumbers, onions,beans, blackberries, yellow squash (Of course it is early in the year and the plants are still tiny) and still to be planted are sweet potatoes, melons, winter squash. For those of you who like me have just a little bit of land, growing intensively can yield quite a bit of veggies and the small areas makes watering ,fertilizing and caring for the garden easier.
The first pic is of a citrus flower, I just thought it was pretty. The second is of the garden, complete with decoration. Right outside the garden is a bench and an area for the dogs to play, the whole area although not fancy was done to be comfortable and to be a place where I want to go, since later in the summer when temps reach 100 it is tempting to put off going outdoors to do stuff.
The last pic is the 'Big Toad Motel'. Not pictured to the left are little pools, it was made to be a place where toads would have water and little hiding places.

Color me VERY jealous as I haven't touched the veggie garden yet. It snowed a few days ago...
I've tried to keep my gardens simple so I grow primarily deer-proof perennials rather than annuals. I put in raspberries and asparagus a few years ago, and am expecting nice crops of each later this year. I also have dwarf blueberry bushes in the front yard that should start producing this year - with their white flowers in the spring and red leaves in the fall dwarf blueberry bushes are a good "front yard pretty" plant, and they require minimal maintenance and pruning. I'm also looking at some flowering/"pretty" perennial herbs for the front to put in this year.
I'm going to forego planting tomatoes, squash, eggplant, and cucumbers as everyone raises them, you can't even give them away in late summer.
