As a note to this thread: The "article" was also published in this spring's issue of ROOTS (The HIPS magazine, and as a "compellation of thoughts from various HIPS members), and that issue of ROOTS was on the display table, and the County Extension Agent noticed my name while thumbing through it. She then asked if she might borrow the issue, to copy the article for all the members of the Whiteside Master Gardeners. I told her, "Sure, but make sure you note that it came from ROOTS.", so, I think a LOT of folks will get a little "prodding" on "good behavior ". It's very, very easy to get caught up "in the moment", and forget your good manners.....it happens to all of us......and a little "reminder", once in a while, comes in handy !
