I live in a very small town in Texas. I am by trade a Cosmetologist in my spare time *(God willing) I like to garden and restore old furniture to a modern use. I've just been gardening now since 2006 and I like this online community because I learn well from others. Also, I get to share and receive seeds from some of the nice folks on here. Can't get much better than that..Oh but it does!! Some people on GG become very good friends and not just online either! Its a small world...so enjoy the community and say hello to all your neighbors. My favorite garden quote at the moment: "I'm not getting old...I'm going to seed."
