Sept 11, 2010-First Annual Fall Louisville Pow-Wow-Save the date Might you be able to join us? Hope so. Sue...aka chemocurl

Hi there-sa Welcome to Gardenweb. It is a great place to learn more about gardening. You answered to a posting that I put up because I have trade commitments with people right now and I wanted to make sure that I didn't leave anyone out after I was having internet problems. What you want to do is log-in and go to the top of the page. There you will see Post a Message. Click on that and then you are ready to post your own messages. I would love to be your local garden buddy/walking workout pal but I live on the West Coast of BC. The walk would take me forever just to get to your place. LOL(means laugh out loud) Hope this was helpful.

Hi all, I live in Desoto County, MS and I would really like to find some garden buddies in my area to swap plants with. I Love all kinds of perennials and antique roses. My garden is small/new, but i do have a few things to trade and would love to meet some of fellow gardeners! It would be really cool if a bunch of us could all get together and form a garden club!!!! Does anyone know of any garden clubs already in North MS? I have tried trading plants thru the exchange pages, but I keep getting fried or no plants and postage is just too expensive. Happy gardening, Elizabeth

Thanks everyone for your replies. Lou, years ago the right side of his lot was a dirt road/service easement used by the county. They were no longer using it and the previous owner purchased from the county. Thats why the back right side is shaped like that. morph, Im not sure about monthly feedings, I think the cost would be way to high. S.A. typically requires, for optimum results 4-6 lbs of N per year for full sun areas. Do you use milogantie along with grains? rcnaylor, great idea. that would be a big job for an acre. rose, funny you said that. I was talking to him last night and mentioned the same thing about buy grains in bulk and possible saving some money. He was all for it. How would one go about ordering Black hen in bulk, and whats the price. On a side note, did you read my post on Alfalfa pellets with Sodium Bentonite? Its on the main page. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated
