Hi folks,

 

Lorraine has asked me to send this message as it rebounded when she tried!

Hello fellow growers!

Hope everything is sprouting well for you despite the distinct lack of
soft refreshing showers.

You may have got my email to the main group a week or so ago asking
for volunteers to share skills via a list on the website. I though
that most of my responses would come from growers, but it proved
otherwise, and I have only two. So I'm asking again to see if anyone
out there is willing to go on a list on the Transition Town website,
with an e-mail contact address, to offer help to people starting up
with vegetable growing.

All help would be offered at the discretion of the giver, and could be
restricted to advice by e-mail or could develop into visits to
allotments or gardens if you so wished. It would be totally up to you.
There are so many people out there who would love to have a go, but
are put off by their lack of knowledge and confidence, and you could
give them just the start they need.

If you are willing to give it a go, please let me know, stating the
type of help you could offer - general organic veg growing,
permaculture growing, or maybe a speciality like fruit growing,
grafting apples or setting up an asparagus bed....

Hope to hear from some of you,

Lorraine

I’d be willing to go on a list of offering advice to beginner veg growers, tho feel a bit limited in my knowledge.

But would first want to know more about how it was proposed to offer this list – I do think a central person who wld received requests and pass them on appropriately would be good. What do you think, Anne and Lorraine?

I agree with Morgan. It would be helpful to have a clearer idea of how this would be used. I can also offer help on getting started but have limited hours that I can give.

I don't think I mind either way!
