Hi Jafar!  Greetings!,

Reinettes here.  I've been having trouble getting anywhere on the internet for several years now.  Our rural internet service only gets worse.  I've been missing reading about the various postings on the HOS Forum website.  ...The next time that I'm able to "get on", I'll be looking forward to trying to catch up on previous postings over the last several months....  I have, no doubt, been missing out on countless informative postings and questions.

I've been absent from the site for most of the year, but I love the HOS Forum and the personal observations that we get from members and visitors.  Everybody's personal experiences and observations contribute to new ideas,... new things to try in an effort toward success.

I'll do my best to get back on the HOS Forum whenever I'm "permitted" [by our poor internet service].

Hey, you folks with questions, or observations.  Ask us!  Chances are darn good that someone on the Forum has had to deal with the same problem that you're encountering.  

Many of us are amateurs, but we are constantly trying to learn how best to deal with problems, whether they be insect related, or perhaps a pernicious fungal or viral problem, we definitely want to assist you in your own orchard as to problem solving!

From someone who has been growing plants since at least 3rd grade, and has always tried to learn from experience and observation....  Live, experience, learn.
