I started a facebook group for the San Antonio area you can search for it - San Antonio plumeria talk Thanks!

Back when I first stumbled across this forum and started thinking about winter sowing, I asked my neighbor who goes to the town landfill every Monday to bring me a truckload of recycled gallon milk jugs. I'd come home Monday evenings to find the bed of my pick-up inside the garage filled. He asked what I wanted with them (we're friends as well as neighbors and all of us garden). I told him about winter sowing and he howled with laughter. When my first sprouts showed up mid-March, I showed them to him. He stopped laughing. Later that year I found an envelope stuffed in my kitchen door when I got home from work. There were 4 apple tree seeds and 10 pear tree seeds inside with a note that read, "Please grow these for me." I WS the seeds and in May of that year gave him 4 apple tree seedlings and 10 pear tree seedlings. The trees were taller than he is a couple of years ago. Folks that question the method can probably benefit by this post. FYI - I WS 538 milk jugs that first year.

The groups I belong to on Facebook are not very active, and I generally visit FB only a couple of times a week and spend as little time there as possible. If I go there, it is usually for a specific reason - like asking someone a question whose email I do not have. Once I have their email, I usually do not go back for that reason, but one or two friends are very active on FB, and I will chat with them there briefly. I normally use Firefox as my browser of choice, but I use Chrome with I go to FB, and that is about all I use Chrome for. I forget why I took FB off of my Firefox browser (i.e. removed all cookies and password for FB and any links to it), but it was causing something intrusive that I did not like. I can control it better in Chrome. I used Chrome instead of Firefox at work, but I never used FB at work. The Bromeliad group on FB is very active - the Bromeliad forum here is not. There is also a local gardening group on FB that has regular plant swaps, and so if I want to go to one of their swaps, I have to keep up with them on FB. I like the people at the swaps and do like that I get to meet people in person from this group rather than just talk with them on line. I've met people on various cooking forums, including gardenweb, but the L.A. group on the cooking forum here is very different from what it used to be and not as interested in having in person meetings.
