Auther, Thank you so much for your kind comments. I appreciate them. This forum is all of us, each and every one, and I think we have an amazing group with diverse experience in so many areas that it is mind-boggling.

We have many gifted, talented, caring, sharing folks here on the OK Forum and I learn something new here every day myself.

You know, a lot of us have gardened for decades, and it amazes me that with all that real-life experience, we all still learn so much from one another. It would be easy for any experienced gardener to think "been there, done that, have learned it all" but that's not true at all. There's always new plants, new techniques, new pests, new problems....and, hopefully, new solutions.

I love this forum and all the people who visit it---whether they are daily regulars or once-in-a-lifetime visitors. I especially appreciate how kind and helpful everybody is here, whether someone is dealing with a gardening problem or one of those off-topic curve balls that life throws at us all every now and then. I feel like we have a real feeling here of truly being family.

Dawn
