Thanks for raising excellent points I hadn't considered.


Sound like he knows what he's talking about.


I live a long mile from the local county ext. office. I had it
completely mistaken for a college campus "annex".

Went there finally. Walked right in, they gave me pamphlets for my
area...then I signed for the e-mail from a local master gardener. I
can't read all that mail :-/

I did get great service and attention to my questions.
