We have completed a first draft of Appendix C for the FAQ. It is a listing of newsgroups, news letters, web sites and off-line addresses that are thought to be of interest to the group. It is listed as a convenience. We would welcome any suggestions as to the structure or contents of the Appendix. Please look it over and give me your comments either by e-mail or by post and once we get the pieces together, we will add it to the FAQ. Thank you Bill Robinson roseguy@flash.net ______________________________________________________________________ Appendix C: Related Newsgroups, Websites, Mailing Lists and Off-Line Addresses There are lots of newsgroups, websites, and mailing lists on the Internet that have relevance to the home gardener.
