Forgive the typo, please on the previous message. I tried to correct "Katmandu" to "Khatmandu" but couldn't figure out how to do it! Denise

Sumitra, I would love to hear more about your school. I am friends with some folks who have started a school for the children of Yak herders in Tibet and are interested in some gardening tips. THey have specifically asked me if I can find out whether sweet potatoes can be grown at the high altitude, so I thought you might have some info. Their school is the Munsel School and website is munselschool.org and the foundation is Munselfoundation.org. Hope to hear from you soon. You and I have many interests in common and I would like very much to exchange ideas with you. Happy Day! Denise

I am pleased to read about your school and am interested in the types of vegetables and herbs you grow in Nepal, I have read recipes with the mention of Nepalese spices , what does this mean?
I have a book written by a volunteer teacher in Nepal in 1993,The Violet Shyness of their Eyes it is called , by Barbara J. Scot. I must get it out and read it again.

I agree, while flowers are lovely, there's nothing more beautiful than nutritious plants growing!

As a person who gardens in very little space, I am a great admirer of roof top gardens. I look forward to seeing any more pictures that you have to share!

I tried to add a reply to two posts and got an "error on page" note !! But then it asked me to sign in again !! Would that be the reason my posts did not work ?? Sign in was negated ?? Or is it common to have to do this occassionally ??

Wow Sandra! You've asked for an awful lot of information! Start by checking for your "predicted" last frost date. There are frost charts online, but the quickest way for you, I think, is to call your county extension agent. He'll be listed in the ph…

Had no luck with gem squash last year - it was just too hot! So I didn't try this year. Maybe next summer.

Yes it's hot but very humid which is unusual. We are having a spell of days in the low 30s but tropical air is being pushed south by the weather systems up north and we are getting rain and humidity. The rain we love - the humidity we are not used t…

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
