It is really nice to hear from all the followers of this
column. I write about what I do and try to relay how well things go and also
how badly things go. It is my intent to encourage trial and error. Not
everything that I do will work for everybody because each person is different
and everybody’s gardens are different too. What I do may be adaptable to the
individual gardener’s needs.
I think that the best teacher is mistakes. Once you have
made a mistake evaluate what went wrong and how to correct it. The first thing
after a problem comes up; I like to see if maybe it was something that I may
have done. Correcting something I have done is a whole lot easier than correcting
an environmental problem.
One of the most common questions I receive is whether I do
presentations. I used to give evening talks but it has been quite a while.
Somehow it is difficult to find the time to prepare and do an evening
presentation. In recent years I have
been working with Jesse Schneider. She is the county extension agent for
Presidio County and works with Logan Boswell who is the county extension agent
for Brewster County.
I usually give a presentation that is one segment of a day
long workshop. I find these to be a whole lot easier to prepare for. It is also
nice to visit with folks that are in the agriculture trade.
I mention this because on the 29th of October I
have been asked to give a presentation about winter gardening. The workshop is
titled Nature Appreciation Day and will be held at CDRI. Check out the schedule
on face book. There will be a lot of great topics covered and a great time will
be had by all.
If you are interested please call Jesse at
432-729-4746, 5600 for more details.
Also ask to be put on her upcoming event mailing list. Hope to see you there!!!
