Hello from East Texas

[Devonviolet]

Hi all,
I moved Southeast of Sulphur Springs, TX last January. I have gardened in four different states and too many cities to count.

I enjoy growing flowers, but my favorite kind of gardening is vegetables and medicinal herbs.

I'm looking forward to meeting other gardening enthusiast, here on The Easy Garden.

Welcome, glad you found us.

Hi, Devonviolet, glad you came. Do you use the medicinal herbs in any particular way? (Make salves, teas, etc?) There are several people on here that are "into" herbs, but I, for one, have a LOT to learn. We will probably be picking your brain a bit.
I bet Texas would be great for growing herbs.

@Devonviolet Jump right in and have some fun too.

Well a BIG HOWDY!! Devonviolet and I, along with our DH's met face to face yesterday! We became friends on BYH, we both were moving to the same area for the same reason of moving closer to family. I gave her a feedstore report yesterday, so they drove over and toured the feedstore, plus bought things they needed. Then they came by for a visit. We all enjoyed meeting each other. I told her how much fun we have here on TEG and here she is! Haha! Y'all have another (transplanted ) Texan to deal with! Put down roots Devonviolet and DH, Texas is where you is and where you're gonna stay!

I would love to wish you a big warm welcome to TEG, but I'm sure @baymule beat me to it. In spite of being a Texas neighbor and friend of Baymule I hope we get along as we get to know each other and garden together.

Welcome Devonviolet! I'm jealous that you've met baymule and I haven't. She is a wonderful person. Yes, you are going to love this place. It has a lot of very nice people with a wide range of gardening experiences. Are your garden beds ready for spring?

Mary

Eegad! Another TEXAN?!!
Welcome Devonviolet, and we'll cut you some slack even though you know Bay.

Nobody has said it yet so I'll be the first this time - we love pictures!
Looking forward to sharing your garden year!

Welcome, Devonviolet! How very cool you know Bay in person.

Hi so lucky. Thank you for your welcome. Yes, I use herbs for many different things, teas, slaves, lotions, deodorant, bug spray, cough syrup and general health maintenance.

I'm looking forward to growing herbs here, in Texas. As Baymule said, I moved here (with DH) to be closer to family (DD - in Dallas), from PA. We moved in the midst of 100 degree temps, so I couldn't bring my herbs with me and will have to start from scratch. I'm sure I could learn a thing or two from other herb growers here on TEG, especially those from Texas and other (hot) Southern states.
