I'm new to this list, but am usually a lurker type for most of the lists I
am on regularly.  But, since you asked :

I'm Joe Conger.  I live in south central Missouri (Zone 5/6).

My main interest in in flowers, although I have a small vegetable garden.
I have several cutting beds, so I always have fresh flowers in the house.

I moved about 2 years ago to a 3.5 acre piece of land, which will take me
about 20 years to get organized and planted the way I want it.  Before I
moved I dug up a lot of my plants and sent them off to my sister to 'hold'
for me.  Now as I am slowly rebuilding my gardens I have to fight with her
to get them back.  I have so many varieties of daylilies and Iris I can't
begin to get them straight in the new beds.

I also have lots of spring bulbs thatn I haven't had a chance to move yet.
I have been filling in with annuals until I can get things arranged the way
I want them, but this takes more time and money than I should be spending.
But, the results have been good.

I hope your posts stir a lot of responses.
