Hey Herbies!
For all of you that missed our January program, "The Chocolate Tree"
presented by Pat Baugh's son and daughter-in-law, . . .well all I can say is you
missed a really great program! I think that the terrible weather kept a lot of
members from attending! Thank you Pat, Darrell and Gayle! I will be posting
some websites to check out about chocolate. I had no idea how chocolate comes
about, but I do now.
Also I have some
photos that I'm going to add to our Blog about our November 14, 2012 program
“Aromatics" presented by Cindy Meredith and Mary Ann Davis. http://rockportherbies.blogspot.com/2012/11/just-reminder-that-our-next-program-on_11.html
We need to get our
2013 Herb Program ready! Are there any of you wanting to give
a program this year? Any of you want to recommend a field trip? Any
suggestions are more than welcome.
OK, here is the sign up
list!

Just as soon as I find out
who is going to give the February program, I'll let you know. FYI: Elder (Sambucus): Herb of the Year™ 2013! Anyone interested in
taking this for our February program? http://www.iherb.org/hoy.htm
Also since we didn't put on
the Herb Festival for 2012, I wonder if anyone is interested in referring the
Festival out to another group. I think that our group has gotten too small to
put on such a big festival. If you know anyone interested in joining our
group, please pass on an invitation for them to join us. Regarding the
Festival, I got lots and lots of inquiries about it last year. It's already
"set-in-motion" with all of the information we can pass on! Let me, Ruth or Cindy know. http://rockportherbies.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Be sure to read our
Rockport Herbies Blog. Ruth, Cindy and I try to keep updated information on
it!
Great Gardening,
Linda a/k/a Herbie
