Well, looks like there's the formation of a new garden forum that is actually being created locally in Springfield. Appears to represent all gardeners in Southwest Missouri and the Ozarks.

Seems like it's got a lot of potential, and will have up to date happenings. I like the diversity of the Garden Talk Forum. I like the look. We could certainly help get it going. I'll be interested to see if there will be more area gardeners that find their way there.

I noticed they'll be posting when they can use help in the gardens. That might be fun to get in on.

What do you think?

The only problem I see is that there are a lot of different topics, maybe too many, and it will be slow for awhile. It would be great if there were a few regular master gardeners on there to give advice. Maybe they could count that toward their volunteer hours. There would be plenty of opportunities to make people aware of it as a source of information and some might prefer to use the FOG forum instead of the Master Gardener Helpline.

George must be a fast typist. He puts out a ton of info. Someone should talk him into writing a book. : )
