New local gardening forum

When we started the O&E website, I thought the most important component would be a local gardening forum -- a place where gardeners in the area could come together to discuss plants, offer each other advice, and just generally commiserate about the joys and frustrations of gardening.

That forum is now a reality. (www.ornamentals-edibles.com/forum)

There is no other place that I know about where Kankakee-area gardeners can gather any time of day to talk about our favorite subject. I hope you'll take advantage of it. Visit often. Encourage your friends to, as well. And don't be afraid to post topics or respond to others gardeners' questions. This is a learning process for us all.

And heaven knows, I'm getting pretty tired of talking to myself!
