Hello, 
   It's about time I got here.  I have only been on the Internet since 1994.  I guess I spend more time touring botanic gardens and hanging out in my newly renovated sunroom in MA than I do online, but it's 20 degrees outside here  and what else are you going to do with yourself?  Actually, Spring is here since I received my 2014 Burpee's catalog last week.  I am newly retired, married, mother of two, and a lifetime gardener and plant person. I belong to the Saugus, MA Garden Club, the MA Horticultural Society, Dave's Garden, and get the BBC Gardening magazine, among others, in my snail mail each month.
   Speaking of which, I am about to depart for Costa Rica where I hope their volcano stays nice and quiet during our visit.  Plan to see many plants and trees while there and report back here. 
   Let's see if this works!
