| Ok, gang, I need your help. The Cherokee County Master Gardeners is going to hold our annual Spring Seminar sometime in February or March. We'd like some suggestions on subjects to cover. The only stipulation is we'd like it to be applicable to Cherokee County and the surrounding East Texas Area....Not a lot of hill country and coast stuff around here!
Seriously, give me a few ideas, please. Last year we did design in the garden, both flower gardens and vegetable gardens. We usually have two speakers with a short break between. They speak for about 1 hour each. The talks do not have to be on the same subject...so send us lots of ideas, OK? |

| Maybe chilli thrips could be addressed. I don't know where you are in relation to Houston, but they are in that city as well as in counties further north. It might be helpful for gardeners to know how to recognize them and what to do about them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chilli thrips in San Antonio thread ...

| Roselee, thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded the tamu pdf and will take it to the meeting. I have no real idea of the number of days under 24, but it's not many. And if ya'll have it in Austin and SA, we're not far behind, I'd think. |
