 Hi, My name is Taffy, and I live in Southwest Florida. Specifically Lehigh Acres, which I affectionately call Jurassic Park. I have been in this area for 32 years. Florida is all I really know. I am 41. I have been married for 18 years. We have 1 girl and 2 boys, aged 19, 16 and 12. The older two are in college. We home school, and only the 12 year old is left. :) Our zoo used to include chickens... but.. by the 7th flock.. I gave up, the Bloodhound won. We have 2 Bloodhounds, Red and Rosie (thus my username.. Roses are Red.), 1 Mini-Schnauzer, Rumsey, and 8 gerbils and 2 rats. It is a bit furry in here. We bought our house in October. Now that the insanity of all the holidays is over, I am itching to get gardening! Now is the height of the gardening season here. Not much will survive past April. Our vegetable growing season is September through April. Anyway, I am looking forward to working on creating our own sustainability and urban "farm."
Glad to be here,
Taffy |

Hi Taffy,
Welcome and you are sure going to like it here. We lived in Lehigh for about a year, two moves later landed us up here in North Port, FL. Just up the road a ways, I still get to Lehigh on occasion. I missed gardening this season, we moved here in June not enough time to get everything done but plan for next season. Karla |

Laughing is good exercise. It is like jogging on the inside.

Hi Taffy!
It's so odd to think of this being the height of gardening season anywhere. I'm jealous. We're under a lot of ice and snow.
I'm new here as well and having a swell time.
Glad to meet you and look forward to hearing about your garden!
