Thank you for offering such a rewarding site.  YGS is a great site and we really enjoy it.  All the posts by everyone are so informational, we are winning everyday just by following all the great gardens.  We are very thankful for the prizes and the opportunity to win the drawing, but in the long run, we just enjoy the site and plan to utilize it for years to come.  Thank You.

We couldn't be happier with all the participation and wonderful information everyone has been sharing. By way of example, we were very satisfied with the Apricot Chutney we made and I happened to mention it to someone and they suggested fig chutney and I thought, hey, we have another tree just bursting and I love figs anyway so I'm looking forward to that. One idea shared becomes several. I also really appreciate the fellowship we share in this common passion for growing (literally and metaphorically). Lisa is smiling somewhere I know :-)

Here's to years of shared fun and great information. Thank you for your kind words. Tom

@YourGardenShow: Tom, I think Lisa is always smiling on you!!! This has been a great experience to be involved with. I learn something new everyday on this site. There are so many people that we would never talk to or meet any other way than through this site. This project of yours was (and is) a wonderful idea! Who needs TV when you can go to YGS and learn something and talk with wonderful people! Thanks again for your vision and for following it! I'll be enjoying this for many years to come, I am certain! Have a happy day! :)

@YourGardenShow:   I did, thank you.  I have it all written down in my recipe card file...  I really do love apricots!  They are my favorite tree fruit, second to Damson plums, and they both have such great childhood memories behind them.  :) :)
