Hi all

Isn't that a lovely thought...SPRING?!  Although we have 6 inches of snow on the ground and arctic temperatures, spring is slowly creeping up on us...thank goodness.

I am editing the next edition of Pomona and am looking for articles.  Now that we have an opportunity to publish color pictures, I hope you will all go through your own files of images and choose some of the best to share with NAFEX members.  

Would anyone want to do an article on peaches?  I'd love to see something about peach culture, varieties, fighting brown rot (my biggest problem) and some lovely peach pictures if you have them.

Anyone growing fruit in hoop houses or other inexpensive green houses?  We've had a few questions about this type of growing for those in less than ideal climates.  If so, send me an article.

What sorts of things do you do in spring caring for your berries or orchard?  I know I'm always looking for good ideas...so pass your tips along to me and I'll put them in Pomona.

I am writing a couple of article for this issue...one on web resources (a nice thing about online Pomona is you can click on the links and go see the sites!) so if you have a favorite resource or online source drop me a line and I'll include it.

Do you work in an academic setting?  Are you part of an ongoing fruit research program?  Send us a report of your work...it's always interesting to know what's on the horizon :)

Have a favorite fruit recipe?  I have about 3 gallons of rhubarb, currants, and peaches in my freezer that I really should use before the next harvest.  How about sharing a recipe or two for your favorite fruit goodies?

Thanks to those who have already sent me articles.  Together lets make the next Pomona the best ever :)
