I'm a novice still even though I planted my first garden in 1974. I'm not very consistent. The dirt where I live now is like cement so I'm doing a lot of recycling of my egg shells, coffee grounds, potato peels, etc to make my own compost. Right now I only have four new trees planted for shade and 4 small tomato plants.

Stems, by way of continued time spent and involvement, have begun to establish some roots in Gardenality. Stems have been active in their Gardener Profile uploading images of existing gardens, building a Virtual Garden or two, and making more Bug Reports. Or they've been active in the community asking or answering more questions in Ask an Expert, commenting on some Articles or Plant Files, or tending to other aspects of Gardenality. Others in Gardenality are starting to take notice of their contributions.
