Re: Welcome

.  We would like to get to know you, so why not take a
minute to tell us something about yourselves
OK,  an introduction from a lurker who is enjoying this list and learning a great deal !

Name: Kate Copsey (also go by Katy).
Although born and raised in England, we have lived in the USA for almost 20 years. During that 20 years, I have tried (with varying success) to garden in:
       - 5 months of permafrost (Buffalo, NY);
       - a post glacial sandy beach (Albany NY);
       - gray clay from a draining Great Lake (Cleveland, OH);
       - a rocky mountainside (northern Virginia);
       and most recently a corn field.

Along the way I have leant how to take cuttings and transport plants across state lines.  The last move had 1500 phyto-certified pots to move, courtesy United Van Lines (who were not amused!).  I now grow and sell certified organic herbs in Central Indiana.

I am active in the Herb Society of America and the Indiana Master Gardener program (although I certified in Virginia).  I have just rewritten the Purdue Extension publication on Herb Growing.  I am also a new member of the GWAA.

As for writing - I am at the very beginning stages of that.  I wrote a series of herb articles for the local newspaper two years ago and some articles for other local publications, but nothing on a professional basis, yet.  To date I have only written about things I know something about - growing/using herbs; basic garden/perennial designs etc.  My current fascination is with medieval through Elizabethan garden design.
