It is very possible that without Pat edible gardening in the US would
come to an end (to be added to the FAQ).
....snippage... oh, I mean pruning...
I'll always remember the people who helped me learn about gardening
when I first came online on the Prodigy service years ago. I'm standing
on the shoulders of giants, as it were. (Special thanks to Bargyla Rateaver.)

And we all owe thanks to Scott Jung, who did the hard work of moving r.g.e
through the process of becoming a Usenet group.

Pat, you *are* helpful in the spirit of Kay Klier, who has apparently
gone on to a real life (is there life beyond USENET?).

While I'm reminiscing, I think my two favorite threads here (actually,
rec.gardens before the split) were "Moron growing Basil" and "Help with
Golfers in garden". The latter had my side splitting from all the witty
advice.

Oh, and to stay on-topic, I agree with the asparagus beetle advice. It
happened to mine the 2nd year and they mostly recovered tho I did lose a
few. I managed to keep them at bay in subsequent years with
insecticidal soap.
