P.
If you had a account with Hadley in the past, you only have to go online at
Student Services to update your info and then you can register online for
the course. I have not taken any courses for about 5 years and it was real
easy for me and the instructor, Ed Haines, from Michigan is really great. I
think you will not have any problems if you go to their website, all info
you need is there and I have learned things about container gardeninging
that has been helpful, only being half way in the course.

Thanks, Terry. The course sounds interesting. Is the course easy to register
for, or do you still have to go through the process of applying for and
getting accepted by Hadley?

Paulette,
I am in the middle of the Hadley course on Container Gardening, it is a 7
lesson course from choicing plants to pest control and everything and the
course is on line, try this one for gardening.

Hi all,

I've got the gardening bug really bad. I just decided that puttering around
in the soil in containers might be fun. So, I purchased a strawberry plant
growing kit. It has 20 plants, potting soil and a stoneware pot with 6
openings for the plants to come out of while growing. That would be alright,
but I also am a QVC devotey and over the last little while I ordered a Myer
lemon tree for my husband's birthday, a set of 2 dwarf banana trees that
have edible fruit, a peony bush, a set of 9 reblooming day lilies, a set of
reblooming tiger lilies, a set of reblooming not Gerber daisies, a set of 2
baby lilac bushes, a set of 8 begonias and a set of 3 butterfly bushes. Most
of these things will be in containers. My husband has 36 tiny lettuce plants
growing in a plastic green house on wheels on the sun porch and we have an
amaryllis also growing on our sun porch. So, after all of that, I think that
my latest hobby is learning the craft of gardening. I don't know if
gardening is considered a craft at all, but does anyone teach a class in
gardening for the blind, or does anyone know of a listserv for blind
gardeners?

Paulette
