Fred,
I'm surprised that there is not more representation from other ABS mems on this site. Seems like an easy and cheap way to help others and self-educate. Maybe "they" know it all already? I have yet to have a mature planting even though I've been growing since 2003 and I like to have a clue about new plants and classification, hence my involvement here. I have yet to attend a meeting as it is a big commitment without knowing someone (I'm shy
) and the closest event to me was the 2007 national convention on the other side of my state - 4 hours away - and not that it kept me away,but it would not have been cheap to attend.
I posted this
thread a few days ago and yet to get any info outside of John's reply (and thanks cause posts like that John are the only way I really know something goes on outside of selling plants, and boozing it up). I will probably use info gathered at a number of sources and put something together so I have medium to offer anyone I come across who shows interest.
I'm assuming Fred that you are not currently an ABS member. Just seeing what you and some other non-members do day-in/day-out should embarrass
some. Thank you.
I hope someone can figure out how to reach people like us that would like to get involved if we knew what we were getting involved with.
