I just found this site as well! I'm registered on it. I haven't found many local people on it yet, but it's still a great idea.

Me too! :) The owners seem to be alright with our digging. I am planning on planting the Lilac tree because everyone seems to love Lilacs here and they already have peonies, I don't think the Lilac is too much of a stretch. I was thinking about…

Thanks for reminding me about this! I just ordered a Membership for my Dad. Those Forsythias bushes they offer with a $25 or more order sure are pretty. :) Are we able to buy a membership and donate the trees to a group here in Des Moines? I…

Arbor Day

Don't forget Arbor Day is also just around the corner! The Arbor Day Foundation is giving away 10 trees, a tree care book, a year subscription to their mag, and a flowering shrub just for $10.00!! Especially in Iowa trees are very much needed to help control erosion and well, let's face it, to make the place look less flat! Haha! Anyway, check it plus this $10.00 (or more) will get you discounts on buying other trees. And yes, they have fruit and nut trees!…See More

Hey nice Bromeliad image. I have one type growing inside in my apartment, though I'm not sure if there are any species that can withstand Iowa winters.

Cool! I think there may be one or two plots left. Jonathan will probably be getting back with you very soon to verify this.

Hey ~ I just realized from seeing your member profile logo that I commented on it last year... it's very cool. Did you get the e-mail I sent you about the "chickenscoopdsm" group? And, stop by any time. If you want to play with some doggies, I've got a couple that love to play catch!
