Hey! you must be pretty bored if you're looking here. lol! ( ~~~ Updated May '10 ~~~ )
I have grown plants since I was a kid (started with African Violets at the age of 8), and have been a seed-saver forever. My outdoor gardens include many hostas, heucheras, iris, lilies, phlox, and a wide variety of perennials, fruits, and annuals. I grow my annuals, some perennials, and veggie gardens from seed: love unusual heirloom tomatoes and peppers.
My gardening space is limited, but I *try* to pack it all in.
My gardens would be meticulous if I didn't golf -- but then I'd be a single-digit handicapper if I didn't garden. 
(Update: I dropped to a single-digit handicap when I got an Adams XTD Insight driver as a birthday present in '09 
)
