North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

Dear Anlie & Hayas,

Indeed, If Democracy has to live, then (mandatory) "protectionism" must make way for the Spirit of the US Constitution & Bill of Rights. But dear folks I think, that the author of the article you are referring to, may have sounded a bit pushy for your liking, and just perhaps what he was suggesting, came through to your sensibilities as you suggested, but I do believe, that he was sharing his own experiences, from the standpoint of an experienced "Elder".

 

We may perhaps serve ourselves better, if positive appreciation for his caring to contribute is made known by us.

 

We do not need to re-state the guiding light in 1776, that shone so bright for folks like Thomas Payne and the other Founding  Fathers to have helped them in defining the most stable treatise on human rights, as is enshrined in the US Constitution.

 

Let's all get back to our business at hand and share our experiences, so we all may stay on track as "Fruit Explorers", who wish to try new and challenging methods for their orchards.

 

I hope to be sending a few snaps of  the Persimmon that has flourished in our Mountains of the North.

 

By the way, I never saw any feedback on my suggestion regarding the Organic prevention of Fungus in fruit orchards by using waste cinnamon as a spray (from the infusion) as well as by  placement near the root zone of the trees (Systemic route).

 

Cheers!

Gunther
