Message-ID: <481@ihuxk.UUCP> Date: Tue, 18-Oct-83 15:45:42 EDT Article-I.D.: ihuxk.481 Posted: Tue Oct 18 15:45:42 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 20-Oct-83 06:21:02 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, Il Lines: 31 Is anybody out there? This seems to be a rather dead net. What areas of gardening does it cover? Are there any indoor gardeners out there? Orchidomaniacs? Saintpaulia Fanatics? Gloxinia Fiends? Winter Bulb Forcing Fans? Amaryllis Admirers? How about good cures for mealybugs? Growing under artificial lights? Favorite Fertilizers? Good mail order suppliers? Or is this net used solely during the growing season for tips on rhubarb and rutabagas (sp?). To get the ball rolling I have a question for the net audience. My dwarf calomondin orange tree which was doing really well last winter indoors and enjoyed a nice summer outdoors was recently brought back inside before it got its first frosting. Unfortunately I neglected to bring it in before it did receive a few nights in the upper/mid 30s. Now a great deal of its leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Is this due to the shock that it may have received or is it due to the lesser amount of light that it now recieves (it is in a east window). Only the leaves that are in the lower and middle parts of the branches are dying the ones near the growing tips are apparently ok. Does anyone know what I can do besides watch my tree act like a maple and shed all of its leaves? Bob Summers !ihnp4!ihuxk!summers -- Robert L.
