Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi Chris, Ok, I've preached this before, but here goes again: get this book, it'll even tell you how you can grow lavender in this climate. When you go to their site, there are several of us that will be attending just about every seminar. Pick one out & join us, but be warned - it is an all day event. It is a nice drive especially during Blue Bonnet season. And they have a fantastic antique fair in Round Top twice a year. My grandaughter will be performing there with the Houston Childrens Chorus in March (also possibly in the super bowl singing back up to Janet Jackson for the national anthem - I think they are waiting to find out how many she will allow to sing with her). As you can see by todays weather - it's changed again!! A lot of people will start their tomatoe, basil (I love basil - one of my favorites), etc. seeds indoors about now or closer to Feb & then harden off. It's not unusual to still have freezes in Feb. Actually, the cold weather started a little earlier than normal this year. If you get the book online, bring it with you to one of the seminars & they will autograph it for you. Or they sell the book there. Go to this site: http://festivalhill.org/HerbDays.html HerbDays Here's their book: Barnes & Noble.com - Southern Herb Growing http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=2UX5KK5YCL & sourceid=00407588527116105968 & bfdate=01%2D05%2D2004+15%3A44%3A00 & isbn=09406726 69 & itm=1 God Bless You & Yours, Georgia (hahagranny) ~~~~~~Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I want to thank everyone who responded to me on this one Going to the local USDA CO-OP extension agent is a particularly good idea. I'll look into where they are this week. Also, Georgia, thank you for posting the title of that book for me again. It is now on the top of my " next personal purchase " list. I really need it. My Gardening Colorado book just isn't appropriate here (I think I'll mail it o my mom in Denver along with the High Altitude Cookbook *lol* It did get cold here again (only in the 40's today) and the need to get in the yard and start digging isn't quite as urgent as it was the other day when it was almost 80, but all the seed and plant catalogs have started arriving in my mailbox, so now I'll take all of your suggestions, and be able to make some educated decisions about what to do and when it is the right time to get started! Thank you all again *Smile* Chris <http://www.alittleolfactory.com> http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
