Re: Hello from Wisconsin
Glad to see other Wisconsinites here! There's a good chance we crossed paths on GW. I joined in 2005, when trading there was active - especially on the bean forum. I still post there occasionally, but trading is dead. Most of the active members & large collectors left for greener pastures... like here apparently, since I already see several old acquaintances. I'm looking forward to making new friends here.

@zeedman Posting photos here is a breeze. Just below the box where you are typing your text you will see a button "Full Editor & Preview" which opens the options. There is a blue tab for "Attachments". You can then drag and drop an image or add an image from your devise.

Re: Hello from Wisconsin
Jeepers zeedman, east-central WESconsin could be anywhere from Adell (Sheboygan County) to Zachow (Shawano County); might you's narrow that down a tad...?

Re: Hello from Wisconsin
Greetings Wisconsinites!! We are getting hit hard by a storm today but spring is only, what, three months away or more....
Maybe we should have a forum in which to exchange gardening ideas. It looks like there are more than a handful of us here.

Re: Hello from Wisconsin
A purely Wisconsin forum will never work, as everything will devolve into discussions about cheese and/or the Packers.

In Madison, not far from you! From Texas originally but lived here 35+ years. Still can't get used to the cold and the short growing season

Re: Hello from Wisconsin
That's normal. I have lived in the area all of my life and I still am not used to it.
