I read this forum nearly every day. That said, I don't respond when I don't know the answer to a question.

When the NE Coast forum first debuted, I did make a post or two. But then I got to thinking. One, I don't know if I'm technically on the coast - I'm more like on LI sound, lol. Secondly, how "on the coast" is coastal? Is ten to fifteen miles inland still considered coastal, and would my conditions count as coastal conditions? I wasn't sure, so I kind of drifted away. Too bad the forum is so slow. I hate when there seems to be a great forum in idea, at least, and in practice it isn't. I went through that with the Going Green forum. I was so excited when it debuted, and then found that it's slow as molasses going uphill in January! Disappointing! :) Dee

"The last posting on this forum was October 18th." That statement is in direct contradiction to what I see: "4 follow-ups, last one posted on Mon, Nov 2, 09 at 21:52" The last new topic with no responses was October 18th, but the last posting was November 2. "Do organic lawn people hibernate for the winter? :)" No, but lawn care generally slows down in the winter, and organic fertilizers are usually only effective when soil temperatures are above 40 F. So in a way, organic lawns hibernate for the winter.

When something new pops up, I'm sure people comment :). I used to grow violets but moved on to other distinctive flowers. Nice, must be beautiful!
