    Hi All,
    I heard about this forum just today and it look pretty cool. I am from sunny Gaborone in tiny Botswana in Southern Africa, where we have summer for ten months of the year!

    I love orchids, hibiscus, bouganvillea, roses, gardenias, petunias & geraniums - pretty much anything that flowers :stew1:

    I'am an expert in plant nutrition and dry land farming; will try my best to help

    Cheers

    Good morning, Sunshine :!: Glad you found the Stew and joined us. Ten months of summer... don't think I could handle that. I live in East Texas and the heat and humidity here almost do me in. Summer is not wanting to let go this year. I will welcome some really cool weather.
