Re: Introdu

Hello!
I have joined this list out of personal and work-related interest. I'm 
editor of The Growing EDGE; always looking for article ideas and writers, 
specifically related to hydroponics, greenhouse growing, organic 
gardening/farming, sustainable agriculture, and innovative techniques and 
practices for indoor and outdoor gardening, as well as interesting plants . 
The magazine is 
targeted to small commercial growers and sophisticated hobbyists.
I have a B.S. in technical journalism, with a minor in life sciences. 
Although I grew up a city kid, my mother had an extraordinary green 
thumb. Our house was always full of plants. When we moved to a house with 
a backyard large enough for growing, I grew my first watermelons and 
potatoes when I was 12. I have been gardening as a main hobby for the 
past eight or so years; completed the OSU Master Gardener program two 
years ago. I became interested in growing from seed and propagating my 
own plants when I realized how much money I was spending buying plants. 
I now have enough room for a small greenhouse and a much larger landscape 
to fill, so the impetus is even greater to produce my own plants. I had 
recent success growing herbs in a cold frame from seed, and I'm quite 
proud of them. It's hard not to point the plants out to friends walking 
through the garden ("See those? I grew them from seed!).
I'm looking forward to future discussions.
