    Two women who have a little in common :). My garden is next to the side door of our home and thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed. I took the Badger to Ludington just for a little ride with the family once. I enjoy art very much and as well as partaking in doing it. Do you have your art studio on the net? And hats off to your wonderful community garden! P.S. How does one put a photo on her profile if it wasnt done right away?

Within the options there you will see 'Profile Picture.' Click on that and you'll see the prompt to select your profile photo. Good luck!

    Hi LCG - Glad to find your profile, and to learn your passion for the garden.  Congrats on the contest! I am helping spread the buzzzz about this weekend's Bee-A-Thon 2011 encore - please tell your friends! Thanks.   www.yourgardenshow.com/bee-a-thon

    This is a really great project! Although I'm also in the contest, I think you should win, so I'm going to vote for you and suggest my friends do the same.Good luck!
    Patrick-TheGreenGardener replied over 1 year ago
    @GardeningJones: Thank you I appreciate i.... But when they announced that the voting system, of making 1 vote count each day, it stacked the odds against us one time one vote system. Compared to those who have people vote for them more than once or obviously everyday.

    Welcome to YourGardenShow. My job here is to help folk share their photos and experience with each other and figure out the networking tools on the site. Please visit the "gardens" that I've posted to see some of the ways you can use the tools. Type "Groundskeeper" in the Search box on the home page. That will take you to a page with links to my "gardens" (they include my own garden, the neighborhood garden in the traffic circle on my street), the shrubs and trees of the neighborhood, a beautiful young public garden on the Maine coast, and more. If I can help you with navigating and using the site, email me: mark@yourgardenshow.com.
    I hope you'll amble around looking at the gardens that other folks have posted. It's fun to travel around the country (and abroad).
