Thank you all for your concern We've been a few weeks bug free, so I'm hopeful that we're in the clear for the year.

Thank you all for speaking up about the need for things in the winter.
While I (obviously) am more like Sandy (I tend to go "dormant" gardening-wise during the cold months), I also fully understand the additional free time to read articles. The numbers agree with me A spring article will be read by 5x or more people than one published in Dec or Jan. As an article writer, I wouldn't want the publisher just to throw up my article just because there is time on the calendar knowing it won't be read. On the other hand, it did make the whole site look a little dormant- obviously not my intention...but like I said....best laid plans and all of that.

I loved the voting this year, and plan to continue that! Also, the seedling challenge is a great idea (along with the seeds). Rerunning some of the oldest articles that new members haven't seen, and any other idea I and/or we come up with will certainly fill up the winter next year!
