Thank you DG

Hillside, IL(Zone 5a)

Thank you DG
Just a note that I wanted to write to express my gratitude to all members of DG.A little bit about myself,Male,47,Married with 2 boys,Work in construction as a heavy equipment operator in the Chicago area and had very little know how of growing plants.Before I would always go to the local nusery to do my landscaping.This year I wanted something different and did not want to spend big $$$$. In the past 6 months I have increased my knowledge due to the expertise of the members,the ease of use of this website and books (Recommended by DG)
Even though I goofed up with some plants,i.e. height,blooming time,etc. I learned from my mistakes.
I have submitted some before and after pics to show what has been done,and to all kids (4-H,scouts,etc.)researching for projects, this is to show you what can be done by just reading.
Again Thanks to All and to DG,You have a member for life

All plants in before pics were from local nusery, In after 95% of all plants are grown from seeds


I did not know which forum to put this in so I have submitted to Dave's Garden,Annuals and perennials since I will be using these the most

Welcome to DG!

Dozer, you have a very neat garden...you obviously learned quite a bit from DG. With so many reference people on this site, how could you not! You'll be the envy of your neighbourhood in no time.

Dozer, a beautiful garden you have there! I'm very new here and I'm learning new things every day!

Marty, thanks for sharing the before/afters. everything looks great! I still can't believe the number of real experts there are here at DG, and the excellent advice from experienced amateurs and just plain support and encouragement. It's nice that you took the time to post a thank you, and I second it!!
