The NTVG Facebook group (renamed to North Texas Vegetable Gardeners Community) will implement some important changes on June 1, 2019 to better accommodate the members, but what does that mean? What kind of posts will be in the group after the change is implemented? The mission says “Provide a place to have discussions, share successes and failures, be inspired, and enjoy social interaction around the topic of local vegetable gardening” Some quotes from group members describing what their favorite types of posts are included below. These are all examples of things that may be posted in the group:
1) layout/design pics with before and after photos and “how I did this” conversation 2) before and after planting photos that show growth/progress 3) harvest photos 4)life in the garden posts with pollinators, baby veggies/fruit, 5) gardens with kids or community participating
Carol Garrison
Garden updates, for sure
Jonathan Hurley
Tips on garden maintenance, like pruning tomatoes for a better harvest, natural bug deterrents, water collection, etc.
Clint Evans
Videos to show what plants look like as they grow and just before harvest. How to harvest and ideas for recipes to incorporate the fresh veggies. Pest control ideas are also great.
Kat Nicholl-Basye
Planting, harvesting, and progress of growing vegetables/fruit. There’s so much to learn from everyone’s posts and pictures.
Katerina Wimberley
A little of this, a little of that, a smidge of you know what keeps the group dynamics fertile, like good soil. You don’t just want the same thing over and over, as the essence will be lost.
ToeKnee Pemsel
Garden updates, harvest pictures, layout and design, and ideas for improving the soil.
Hannah Milam
I love to see peoples gardens, their harvest, and the finished canning or casserole, salad,etc
Sandra Wright
As I post, I like the weekly update posts to show how my garden grows. I love to see the others pictures to get ideas from and learning from others experiences. As a collective if we all share our knowledge, we can grow our own food and be healthier and forgive the pun, more fruitful.
Scott Ahlfinger
I love the pictures and encouragement.
