Hi All,
My name is Vicki and I live in West MI. Thanks Bob for inviting me to this site.
I love to do plant swaps and talk 'plants', too.

I have numerous flower beds with lots of different perennials. I also grow annuals, and a few tropicals as long as I can overwinter the bulbs (EE's, cannas). I also have a pond 6 1/2' x 11' (freeform), I also was interrupted installing a 3 pond system (formed), by the snow we had at the beginning of the month.
I have been gardening for going on 6 yrs. now and am totally addicted!

Hi Vicki, welcome (again) to the forum.

I'm addicted too.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I figured maybe you guys being in a warm zone will have lots of pics to share.
Spring is too far away for my liking, but then again, I can't be complaining we have no snow yet. (does this one mean jumping for joy?)

My 3 year old seems to have misplaced my camera months ago. I will be taking more pics this Spring when my gardens are awake and primping.

Well Admin, I know what you mean about the lil' children's misplacing stuff. We had 5 of them with 3 still at home. Now the grandbabies will be able to take up where they left off. LOL! Would love to insert images but, i'm used to having
a browse button.

I'm near Muskegon, about 14 or so miles from Lake Michigan. Beautiful area.
