Benny has informed me that he doesn't have the time to moderate any longer. Benny has been a great asset to this forum & I hope he will continue to help as he has time to.

I have promoted Skeeter to Moderator & would also like to invite Gaylord (Eyeckr) to join the moderators with all of his cold hardy experience.

Skeeter welcome to the mods & Gaylord I hope you accept.

CONGRATS Skeeter Watch out for those bad guys (& girls)!

Thanks Patty-- I see your weather is improving-- hope you get some 70s soon! We had to be close to 80 today.

Skeet:
I thought I was the first one to congratulate you But Patty beat me to it.
I read your answers to the querries and your answers were in depth and to the point.
Todd could not pick anyone better.
Congratulations.
And thanks Todd.

Benny

Thank you all for your support-- Like I told Lazz, this forum has helped me so much I just want to pass along what I have learned from the true experts that have helped me. I got into citrus a few years ago, but I have been a gardener for almost 50 years. I have been amazed at how different citrus is from your typical fruit tree. I just wish I was in a state where I could share more with you guys and gals.

Welcome to the crew Skeet!!!
They are a great bunch here!! Wish I could repay all the kindness that has been shown me.. Maybe one day I will stumble on a great find that I can share.. Till then I'll keep pluggin along and hope I get it all right some day....
Congrats hon!!!

Thank you very much for considering me as a possible additional moderator. I feel that it is quite an honor but I find myself in the same predicament as Benny with the time constraint issue. I would probably be unable to participate in the frequency that may be expected so it does not seem to be the right choice at this time. With that being said though, I will attempt to engage in more topics and share experiences any chance I am able to.

Thanks for your forum support Benny!
Congrats Skeeter!

Congratulations skeet
Did Laaz explain to you that new moderators are required to perform work week ends in orchards within driving distance? Hello neighbor.
