New Website for Sandhill Preservation

[carolyn137]

Yes, it's listed in the Forum where seed and plant sources are listed, but few folks would know that the website has been entirely redone and I think it's a great improvement over the old site.

I decided to make note of it here since this Forum gets the highest traffic.

Oh nuts, I forgot to carry over the URL from AOL but it's the same URL as before, so those of you familiar with Sandhill just use that one or go to the Forum above and link to it there or go to Google and link to it from there.

Edit - here is the URL - http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/

I really don't like this going back and forth between AOL and IE and logging in here each time, but it's a heck of a lot better than not being here at all.

There will be additional tweaking from now thru the summer and beyond, as information changes.

And note that varieties out of stock are now listed next to those varieties affected.

It just went online this afternoon.

So enjoy!!!!

Glenn is kicking and screaming into the 21st Century and I am glad he is with the help of some good friends. The best is now better and your post reminded me to send in my sweet potato order. Thanks.

Why don't you just add T'ville to your favorite places on AOL and come in through AOL's browser? That's what I do.

I did that initially Delora but for me and also for several others on AOL that doesn't work and you have to log on and relog on every time you go from one post to another, etc.

And that's why up at the top of Tville you'll see a sticky written by my nephew Garrett that describes the problem for most AOL users.

I use AOL version 9 and it just doesn't work at all, so I have to minimize AOL and go to IE to get here. And then I can log on just once per visit.

That is one BIG improvement!

He must have added some new varieties, or maybe the descriptions were just so small and crowded before that I couldn't read them.

Loved it before,
now I love it more!

I sent Sandhill some seeds for an Australian pumpkin/winter squash called 'Ironbark', which is becoming hard to get here down south - not sure about up north. I never see it in the shops anymore. I probably sent the seeds about 13-14 months ago I think. I was hoping that Glenn might have grown them and offered seeds in his catalogue this season for NHers but they aren't in the online catalogue. I noticed he has Queensland Blue and Jarrahdale from Australia. Ironbark is another beauty that is well worth preserving!

I'm not even sure if the seeds arrived or not - didn't let him know I was sending them. :wink:

Patrina,

A discreet e-mail might be in order to see if he did get the seeds. And if he did perhaps they're on his list for this year and/or maybe it will serve as a reminder, although I can tell you that he's pretty darn organized as far as seeds go. Let's say that Linda is the seed organizer person and Glenn makes the decisions on growouts.

I can tell you that he always doesn't have the time nor space to plant all the tomato varieties I might send him for one year and they then appear later.

The pack I sent him this past week had MUST GROW on the ones I felt strongly about.

I know of only one other Ironbark from down under and he's human. :wink:

I'm cracking up here Carolyn!!!

OK, maybe I'll send Glenn an email. The Ironbark pumpkin is probably named after one of the eucalypts in OZ that my dad used to refer to when we'd be driving in the hills around Adelaide. I'm assuming that the pumpkin skin is tough like the bark of the tree so named, but I don't know for sure. Anyhow, it's becoming rare. The only seed company I've seen seeds advertised for it is Diggers, and that's where I got the seeds I sent to Glenn.
