Hi ya'll *A Newbie Form South Texas

Hi ya'll,
I just joined the DG family.
I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.This site is great, it has a ton of topic areas and info.
I am mostly a tropical gardener and I've been gardening for about 15 years.( or "BUYING" plants as my family says.LOL)
I am still filling out my trades list and hope to trade some plants.I also have a ton of critters to go with the garden.I have a small tropical garden(jungle) on a residential lot and enclosed goldfish pond and patio room that was our summer project.That's a lil about me.I hope to share plants & info with some of you.
Blessings to all,
MsCritterkeeper

Boy,now she's got some beautiful great big fancytail goldfish..and one Koi ..Wish she would post some pictures of them...and use something you could gage how BIG they are...oh they are so pretty.
