RGQ arrived in Central Victoria yesterday! Yay! (Cynthia in Melbourne told me her copy arrived the day before)
Excellent edition and I must see is Peter George has started a thread about his "We are Luddites" article!

Am enjoying the latest Quarterly - notably Lori Chips article on 'Seed Crimes' and Bobby Ward's 'Bookshelf'. I like Lori's comment about 'chipping' legume seed and keeping small seed in the packet; I've never thought of this! Large seed like Erythrina and Sophora secundiflora have the opposite problem, it takes half an hour to file through the seed coat! Bobby Ward's article was especially interesting because I know a little of nature writing from the States and such a subject rarely crops up in the AGS Bulletin. It provides a perspective on the plants we grow and our environment which I find very enlightening. I would love to hear more about figures like Claude Barr, Lincoln Foster and more recently Wayne Roderick.

I'm starting to worry that my NARGS Quarterly isn't going to show up.  For the last quarterly edition, my NARGS membership renewal was languishing in a heap of paperwork, probably why I hadn't received the quarterly at that time, but upon renewing membership online at the NARGS web site, my copy duly arrived. Any one else out there not received the latest NARGS Quarterly yet?

Mark, Trond, Jenny

You were all on the mailing list for the latest issue so your copy should be crawling towards you. I would like to say I understand why some people get their's quickly and others take so long but I can't. It baffles me why some people have to wait so long.

Very best

Thanks for checking, Malcolm. January's always the time when I start to wonder if I've renewed my membership while waiting for the journal. Good to know that it's on the way!

Being forgetful of renewing was a big incentive in my taking out Life membership Roll Eyes
Apart from the fact that I saw it as a nice "farewell" present to myself when I left the USA to return to live in Australia - on a much reduced wage Grin

That's a good suggestion, Fermi. If the Euro hasn't disappeared down the plug hole by the end of the year, perhaps I'll treat myself to life membership.

New issue of the Quarterly (Spring 2012) has been dispatched to members from Allen Press in Kansas. Managed to get the whole thing completed, layouts, proofreading, color proofing etc before we set off for the Annual Meeting in Everett - so it's on its way!!

We just got back to the UK on Saturday evening after the Annual Meeting and then another week with presentations in Vancouver and Calgary - thanks to all those involved with all of that - great fun. And if you're expecting a reply to an email all I can say is that I'm working my way through a stack - should be up to date by beginning of next week.

Deadline for next issue is May 1st but if you have to have something in it would be good if you get in touch before then.
