Comments (9)Elaine, you're more than welcome to come out to the next time we have a physical meeting, which will probably be in October. Jay, you would be more than welcome to come out, though I recognize that it would be a trip for you. You're more than welcome (much more than welcome) to help out with participation on the forum. I really want to see it start perking. So far, people drop in and look around. But they don't post. This is probably due to the fact that there is so little there. I have actually plugged this forum whenever I have done seed saving forums, and I will figure a way to include it as a link from Green Country Seed Savers Network's web page. Those who attended last Sunday's meeting know that I both mentioned Oklahoma Gardening Forum and, specifically.... Dawn, as an example of the great resources available here.

Comments (10)Yes, this group's meetings vary between being pretty organized. with one person doing most of the talking; and somewhat chaotic, with most everyone doing the talking. My wife was there for the first time. She is a good judge on how a gathering is going. Jerreth told me that most people seemed thrilled. We had to run early. But a couple of new folks stopped us to say how happy they were about being there. On another occasion we will do more of the controlled type meeting. I am always thrilled when new gardeners come out! It's simply wonderful to help them to succeed. Bryan, a young man of about 13, was at this last meeting. I had done a presentation on seed saving at his 4H club and invited him to our Green Country Seed Savers meeting. He came! From what his mom told me, I'd say that he's got a lot of potential, as it has always been his bent to be fascinated with seeds and propagation....See MoreGreen Country Seed Savers/ March and April Meetings
Comments (0)Hey folks, Here's what I put up on the Green Country Seed Savers website, last night. We don't yet have a date for the April meeting. I hope to get that nailed down very soon. There was such a large turn out for the last meeting we had, that I want to try meeting at Napolis Italian Restaurant again. They have a large meeting room. Though good, our last meeting was so well attended, and the meeting place small, that some of us probably never got a visual of each other! Here's the text. I'll include the link as well. Comments and suggestions are welcome, either here or there. George ------------------------------------------------------------ March meeting: We will hold our next meeting of Green Country Seed Savers on Sunday, March 29 at 2:00 PM. This time I think we'll meet at Napolis Italian Restaurant. Our last meeting had so many people that we should plan on using their meeting room and being able to see everyone at the same time! Here's a link for the restaurant. Let me know if you need any help with directions. For this next meeting let's count on coming with information to share on where to obtain good garden seed and varieties, adapted to our climate. Be thinking on this. Also, by this time, if anyone has extra seedlings to share or trade, be welcome to bring them. www.napolisitalianrestauranttahlequah.com/ April Meeting Idea For our April meeting I've been talking with a couple of members about the idea of meeting in a park or lawn area and making 5' tomato cages out of concrete reinforcing wire. Of course, this would mainly be for those who want to do this. At the same time we could be sharing seedlings, seed and information. What do you think? The cost of a 150' role of 5' tall concrete reinforcing wire is a little over $100 for a 150' roll. We can purchase a roll or rolls, depending on demand, and then, each person could pay for the length of wire they use for the cages they make! Many people can neither afford nor use all the cages which would come from a role of wire. But among many, we can do this, saving everyone money. These cages are FAR SUPERIOR to anything one can purchase in a garden center! I personally don't need any more. But I bet there are plenty of people out there who would love to get some! When I made my cages I purchased the special cutters (bolt cutters) which make fast work cutting this wire. I can bring them. Those who want cages would need to come prepared to haul them home, either flattened out or in tube form.
