It was almost 7 years ago that I was introduced to the Internet. Techi and I had moved in together, and she had a 486 computer with a 2600 Baud modem. I asked if it had AOL installed, and she said that it did. I thought a moment and said "I hear you can talk to people all over the world with that...I'd really like that. "

AOL was a good place to start. I've long since outgrown it, but the desire to talk to people all over the world continues. So far I can count friends in Australia, England, Canada, Wales and Scotland as well as all over the continental US.

Today while I was creating my "Trading Card", I took another look at my list of interests. One of the really neat things about LJ is that you can click on one of your interests, and can get a list of other users who have also listed that interest. For giggles, I clicked on "Organic Gardening". It's an impresive list. 204 users have listed "organic gardening" as an interest. There are some great names there: the one that caught my eye was "{split open like a pomegranate}".

I clicked, and read. She's articulate. She's obviously well read. What's really interesting is that her picture reminds me of shadow_5tails!

I see that we are in the same gardening zone--I'm about an hour south of you by car, in RI. You wouldn't be interested in some asparagus crowns, would you? How about some pale lavander bearded irises?

alas, asparagus is one of three vegetables for which i haven't found a recipe i enjoy.
but i'd be very happy about the irises. they are one of my favorite flowers & my garden has several species.
i will have a bunch of stuff in the fall if you are interested in it -- divisions of daylilies, irises, and coreopsis, and some bulblets from lilies, tuberoses (a summer sweet-smelling flower that is grown in a pot this far north), & probably some spring bulbs too. also some saved seeds, including wild eastern columbine. plus probably more. :)

thanks for the offer! :)
