You built we came. A dream field.

Indeed! I would have guessed maybe three years max.
Thanks to all the members who really make this forum what it is. It is exciting to watch “newbies” slowly evolve into experienced growers with wisdom to share.
thats why we’re here. to share what we learned here. 
Thanks Scott! I spent a lot of time looking for honest, first hand information before I found this site. There’s no reason to keep looking any longer. This IS the ticket!
Thanks scott! Have only been here a few months but learning a lot from you guys every day!
Thanks Scott!!! You are so generous with your time and knowledge! Big thank you to everyone here that contributes!!!
Thanks Scott, betcha you’re glad to be off that Houzz site, yes? I really enjoy the format of this one, easy to use and versatile.
I’m not a day one guy, but have been here almost four years. Almost every day I’m on here reading, and sometimes posting. I’ve learned a lot on here, and have enjoyed the folks on here as well.
This has been a very good forum for sharing thoughts and insights about what we all love some much growing. Thanks for creating this Scott.
Five years of learning and of teaching;
of receiving and as importantly of giving;
of lessening the pain by sharing it;
by changing pleasure to exhiliration by sharing it too.
But most importantly… the growing… and not only of the trees.
Thank you Scott
Mike
