    TheEasyGarden?

    Hello gardeners! I see that there is a site called TheEasyGarden, and I'm intrigued by it. Since it is considered a sister site to BackYardChickens, does that mean it is run by the same people that manage this site? Do the forums and threads work the same way? Thank you for your time,
