The Online Gardener is an 8 to 10 page bimonthly newsletter
that covers computer aided gardening: software reviews, new product listings
and general discussion of both hardware and software applications (from
using your home computer to robotics in the fields!).

This newsletter has been around for about a year and a half and has just been
taken over by a new publisher, Gordon Peery who is a freelance writer and
avid piano player for the local contra dances.

Gordon is particularly anxious to hear from people sharing his interests
in computers and gardening. If you are aware of electronic bulletin
boards covering gardening, besides netnews, he would be particularly
pleased to hear from you.

Gordon does not have easy access to netnews!!!!

Please use Snail-Mail to contact him directly:

I recently reviewed a copy of the Online Gardner and it looks to
be quite promising!

^^^^^^
Please, lets keep the politics out of net.garden. :-)
Would you mind telling us just what a contra dance is?

Contra dancing is certainly not a political statement! This is one of
the oldest types of dancing in the country, practiced in New England for
well over 200 years now. Derived from english country dancing, contra
dances include traditional music on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, piano,
accordian, etc. in the form of jigs and reels and has a dance caller similar
to those who do square dances.

Suggested reading: The Country Dance Book by Tolman


P.S. Lots of gardners in our area are avid contra dancers, having just
returned from DECUS in San Francisco it seems that there are many
avid conntra dancers out that way too.
