Billy, I've never known you to be at a loss for words, even if a few of them I've heard before :-]. Keep at it, Goodnick, and thanks for all you do.

Thicken up your skin Goodnick. There's no reason you can't respond politely to honest questions, whether the poster has a handle, or a number. Signed,

1. Thank you. I've learned a lot, and been entertained along the way. 2. Congratulations. It is great that our little chatty community launched some other writing gigs. I'm a devote of "crimes against..." 3. Column suggestions: Creating healthy soil. Better ways to win the war with: insects, gophers, moles, etc. I posted the question about alternatives to systemic pesticides for roses today. Irony is not lost on me, as I was squishing aphids off my emerging roses (haven't used the pesticide in months, but love bees, so that's now out), while toting my haul of organic compost to the various destinations around my yard. Today included cursing the gophers, weeding, fighting an ant invasion while thinning the dead stems out of my mint patch, etc. My rule of thumb on plants is they better feed me, smell good, &/or look good, and be appropriate for this climate (although sometimes feed me or look and smell good can override appropriate...) I suspect lots of locals have similar sentiments. Anything that helps us accomplish that while still having time for thing other than constant gardening is appreciated. (&$%# #&$! aphids and gophers!)
