Hello,<x-tad-bigger>"The right to life is the source of all rights--and the right to property is their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are possible. Since man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who has no right to the product of his effort has no means to sustain his life. The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave."
It is my experience that anybody interested in fruit, that I run into, is
more than willing to share their fruit resources. Either free or at a
nominal cost It is not a matter of sharing, but building public interest.
I can list a number of our local nurseries that don't even offer fruit of
any kind. People either do not have time, or interest in the growing
fruit.
I find that local gardening clubs, or horticultural societies do not offer
anything for those interested in fruit. Hence, long distance NAFEX.
Not long ago, at a home and garden show, I asked at the local
horticultural group's booth if they offered grafting classes. They looked
at me as if I had two heads, and told me grafting was as art akin to
magic. I think these clubs like to lug and plug (buy beautiful plants,
plant them, puff out their chest's and say "Look what I did"). All they
did was dig a hole. I know, I know. Very cynical and hard hearted of me
to say, but annual lugging and plugging does not appeal to my practical
gardner side.
If you cannot complete the gardening in an hour today, very few are
interested.
How can we change that?
Later,
Tom
