Hi Henrietta, let me know ahead of time when you wish to have the chat on 
that topic. I will want to put it on my planner so that I can plan around 
it. The written word is great in planting. I find that first-hand experience 
is the best because that is the only way to find out whether or not a plant 
will work for your gardening setting.
