lonesome

The bad thing about my Master Gardener course is that I don't have anyone to talk with after the lectures. I'm pumped today about plant disease diagnostics and would like to rehash the lecture to cement in my feeble brain the ideas of biotic and abiotic plant diseases, of physical, chemical and mechanical injury to plants, of symptoms and signs, patterns, evidence. The speaker, Rich Buckley of Rutgers University, besides being a brainiac and all-around expert on turf grass diseases, and therefore much sought after for golf-course turf problems, is an engaging post-hippie bike-riding (to the tune of 15,200 miles last year), non-golf-playing plant nerd. I think I fell in love. And if I wasn't moving to Washington, I'd consider taking some of his plant diagnostic intensives.

But there's no one to talk to about that awesome lecture, or the previous lecture on turf grass management. Oh well.

I'm so excited I get to leave a comment that I have no idea what I was going to say. This is the first time the site has let me get this far (though I shouldn't get my hopes up too high since it hasn't actually published yet). Of course it did make me try more than once and almost faked me out by giving me an error message. Anyway on to the actual comment which I can't remember but am sure was some how relevant and had to do with plants and talking and crushes and roses in Texas.
