Hi,
Love this site. I read the forums and view Patti's tapes. I moved from Florida in October of 08. Lost my job as interior horticulturist and had to move to Ohio where my family was. No seeds. No compost. And no jobs. Just lots of ideas. I am slowly getting started again. I have been an organic garderner before it got popular. Never used chemicals, even in interior horticulture. My problem is I can not get anyone in my area modivated or get them interested in gardening. I have been to the Ohio State Extention office, talked to the agriculture department. Nothing. They did not even know where I could get organic seeds locally!! HELP I need ideas to get people interested and tell them they do not have to eat chemicals. I am going to build a medium size solar greenhouse. I went to the head of recycling (my ex brother in law) to try and get recycled materials to build a greenhouse, have not heard from him. And he is the only guy to talk to in the surrounding six counties. I am at a loss. I keep running into deadends. But I still get up and keep walking to a different direction. Any new ideas? I would also be interested in opening a food co-op.
Thanks
Love and Peace
