Classes, Classes and more Classes!

October was definitely my month to teach classes and take classes! On Oct3rd I taught Cool Season Vegetables at Another Place in Time, it was a small but enthusiastic crowd and I saw many of the attendees again when I taught an Herb Class at Mike's the following weekend. On the 6th I took a class taught by Angela Chandler on Seed Saving. It was an excellent class and I highly encourage anyone interested in the next level of vegetable gardening to take it. I even saw Ray Sher, a fellow co-teacher of mine taking the class! On the 16th I went to a workshop organized by OHBA on Sustainable Landscape Pest Management. It was a little different than I expected but overall it was pretty good. However, the lecture on Biological Pest Control given by Dr. Carlos Bogran was amazing!!! (Note the excessive use of exclamation points.) If you see his name on a list of lecturers please take his class. Conveniently, I taught a class on Ecological Pest Control for Permaculture this past Sunday, along with a quick one hour class on Vegetables. Whew, and the month isn't over yet!

For those of you wondering, I do plan to put my Permaculture PowerPoint presentations online, I just haven't had the chance. I also hope to put a few pictures from the Sustainable Landscape Pest Management Workshop along with a better synopsis of what I learned and what the speakers were like.
