Thanks everyone!

Hi, Just wondering if you might have the Mother Earth News still available? I have never read it, and trading for something would be a fun way to start, I thought! Um, to trade...you let me know...I can create something for your garden, as I dabble a little in crafts, best as a sewer (seamstress, I guess I should say!), but could make a cute lil' garden sign or something. Please let me know. Emma in PA Bowdoin82@aol.com

Tom, Toogood (Plant Propagation, '99, pg 50) says cuttings of current year's fig hardwood root well in autumn right after leaf fall, which is just happening now - He suggests outdoor rooting overwinter of 8 -9 inch cuttings. This is an agressive 3 yr old tree about 10 ft tall now (as opposed to the Brown Turkey next to it, which was planted at the same time and died back to the ground in a not-especially-cold first winter). The Desert King was well on its way to a second fruiting this summer, but ran out of time! Are you growing your Brugs and Datura outside? What's your experience? I've got three brugs I'm trying outside this year - I've covered them with a thick blanket of alfalfa hay. We usually have 15-20 frost nights, a night or two around 25 deg, but it could of course go colder on occassion. What's your lows? If you think they'll make it with protection, I'd love to try a datura. Whata'ya think? John

There is currently a deal on Amazon ...they are having a spend $20 on magazines, get $10 toward any future order special. A TWO year subscription to Urban Farm through Amazon is $21, less the $10 future credit =effective price $11 for two years! That's $5.50 per year and is a FANTASTIC deal. For anyone who wants both of these, Mother Earth news is $15 ($5 more than direct from the publisher), but you get a $10 credit for any future Amazon orders, so the effective price is 15+15-10= $20 for both magazines. (as oppossed to $25 total if you ordered both individually). I order from Amazon all the time so this is a great deal for me.
