<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jamie: We had discussed planting the BC3 F3 nuts in
Stuewe Pots and growing them for a year and then planting them as seedlings.
They would stand a better chance of survival this way especially if they are to
be cared for by someone not experienced in growing chestnuts. I built two new
growing cages that are protected from critters by hardware cloth. The two cages
will each hold 40 pots.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had planned to plant the nuts in the pots this
week. Did you see the e-mails of 3/28 and 3/29?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV>
As many of you know, the chapter has 59 BC3F3 nuts from Meadowview that have
been donated by members to use to further the work we are doing, I'm looking
for ideas of places to plant these nut that can, for
example, thank a garden club or other orginazation that has supported us
in the past, generate positive ongoing PR for the foundation and our
work; i.e, a planting at Old Sturbridge Village, or perhaps creat a new
realtionship with a cooperator. </DIV>
<DIV>
I know many people will want nuts for plantings so let's brainstorm to
come up with ways for these nuts to benifit the chapter and our goals. Bring
yoiu ideas to the chapter board meeting on the 24th</DIV>
<DIV>(the agenda will go out soon!).</DIV>
<DIV>thanks and stay dry!</DIV>
<DIV>-Jamie</DIV></DIV><BR>
