Christine, me and Willy will be there.
Silvia

I've been wanting to asking him to address my HOA re growing a good lawn, etc. How does one get in touch with him and what's his fee?

rosarama---Tom's email address is TomMac1996@aol.com

Silvia---Glad to hear that you and Willy will be there. See you there.

Christine

Dang! I want to go too! Whaaaaaaaa!!!

:-(

Is he still an extension agent or a radio/tv garden guy these days? I used to watch his show many years ago... FYI... a previous co-worker of mine used to produce his PBS television show on WMFE back in the 80's, just a little trivia for our other GW'ers! :O)

Hope you have a great turnout... I will be planting a citrus tree that day for my BIL's birthday present!

Tom MacCubbin is retired as an extension agent. He still has his radio program and weekend Q&A articles in the Orlando Sentinal. Auntijan, I didn't know that he had a regular TV program. I remember seeing him on PBS once in a while.

So, Tom and Cathy, are you coming on Monday evening? Do you live close enough? I live about 45 miles away, but I still go to Orlando for the tropical fruit club monthly meetings.

So, Tom and Cathy, are you coming on Monday evening?

Christine, I get up at 03:40 A.M. to go to work, I'll be in bed about half way through your meeting :-(

Tom

I'll try and make it too. What does the "The Tropical Fruit Club" do/talk about?

Michael

What does the "The Tropical Fruit Club" do/talk about?

And, do they serve carambola wine :-)

No, we don't serve carambola wine, but we did have a beer brewer member that would bring in a keg of homemade passion fruit beer every Christmas. We miss him and his fancy beers.

The Tropical Fruit Club talks about just about anything but ornamentals. We try to focus on how to grow fruits (tropical and temperate) and related topics. We do have teachings on general gardening practices, such as what Tom MacCubbin is going to talk about Monday (tomorrow).

I understand that getting up that early does make for an early bedtime. I have been a member for 15 years and my husband has never attended a meeting even if he wanted to. He does go on field trips with us though. We will be having a few field trips coming up on Saturdays. If you are interested I can let you know about them.

See you tomorrow Michael.

Christine

Yes, please! Any over this way would be fun to attend....

Tom

Besides Silvia and Willy, several others from GW showed up for this meeting. It was great to meet you.

Tom was very entertaining and informative. It was an enjoyable evening.

Christine

Hi Christine
You were up late! After we went to Starbucks, I went straight to bed.:o)

Tom was a very engaging speaker, like Christine said we had a good time.

Silvia

Christine,
My daughter and I enjoyed the presentation. It was fun, thanks for the invite.

I did not get the address/webpage for the 'tangle foot'. Could you post it for me. I'd like to give it a try around the blueberries.

Thanks, Michael

Silvia--- Yeah, I was up late because I ate those chocolate frosted brownies that had too much caffine for me to eat in the evening. I repotted the begonia to a larger pot and I have it on display at my front entrance. My butterfly garden is large, with plenty of room for the black and blue salvia. Thanks so much for the plants.

MichaelcO---The holografic reflective strips, Tanglefoot, is sold as a bird repellant. Sorry, I forgot to mention that last night. My old invoice has a stock number 79205, bird deterrent, repeller ribbon. Forestry Suppliers. www.forestry-suppliers.com

If you want extra help with the birds and squirrels, also add some hoses at the base of the plants. Try to lay them in snake shapes. I'm using both deterrent methods in my blueberry bed.
