OG is looking for potential Meet the Readers to profile in our People section.
We know our readers are creative folks and we’d love to hear some of your own tips and techniques.
Maybe you’ve created a fertilizer mix, whipped up a pest or disease spray, constructed a new kind of trellis, or developed a strategy for watering plants while you’re away… as long as it’s all organic, we’re all ears!
If you have a unique and season-specific idea you’d like to share with other readers, and if you haven’t already been profiled, send me, Beth Huxta, Contributing Editor, an email at Bethhuxta@gmail.com.
Thanks everyone! I hope to hear from you!

I'd like to be profiled in OG. (Usually, I'm only profiled when I get on a plane or try to cross a border.)
I haven't invented anything but my garden is pretty impressive I'm told and the ladies down the road at the senior citizen apartments think I'm cute as a button.
Only kidding, of course. But I do like the reader profile feature in the magazine. There are a number of interesting people here that I would like to see profiled in OG and not just at border crossings.

dear Beth I have 3 techniques that might be fit for profile.
But one follow up question. What format would like this submission to take.
As for the techniques they are all not totally original but that all new way to use existing techniques.
1. Ones Is simple improvement of seed starting set up. 2. Second one is a away watering and low adjustment system. 3. third is setup and method for transplanting tomatoes outside very early Feb 15 for zone 7 md. with ability to survive temps as low as 10 f degrees.

And I nominate phoebe bird, who is one of the few urban gardeners on the forum if I recall correctly.
Also, when she is a little less immediately post-partum, alaskan. She manages to keep things growing despite impressive winter lows and unimpressive summer highs. She also has the most gorgeous views from her place, which would look stunning on a magazine page.
And I definitely agree adirondackgardener is an excellent choice. Adirondack--whatever happened to your tag line, "If the women don't find you handsome..."? That always tickled me.
Can we be notified when one of our members is being profiled? Not everyone here has a subscription (I tend to let mine expire and forget to renew for a few months), but I'm sure most folks here would go out and buy it when one of their favorite members is profiled.
Also, if you go to the Member Directory and sort by karma, most of the folks who pop up on the first page would be excellent choices.

We have profiled Mumsey, and I have heard great things about her fertilizer mix.
I will definitely give a heads up when a reader will be in the magazine.. Check out the Feb/March issue for Elfie as a Composter of the Month! Her karma rating is through the roof, for good reason. (Hi, Elfie!)
Glad to see everyone support each other on here

I'd like to see some people here profiled. I'd like to see their rap sheets, have their DNA analyzed, their fingerprints run through the FBI and their phone luds. (You can see I watch too much Law & Order.)
Seriously, I think David, oh2fly, would be an excellent candidate for OG profiling. The voluminous garlic data base he's compiled along w/his expertise in growing it certainly warrants an "up close and personal".
Oh, and I second Wayne, adirondackgardener. I think anyone who has such cute buttons deserves a triple-page, fold-out photo a la Playboy. He doesn't have to wear bunny ears, just a few discreetly-placed chickens.
PROFILE LOAMY. I just visited her at Lang Pioneer Village this weekend, and OMG, what a set of period gardens! And she's doing it all in a pioneer DAY DRESS! You'll have to email her, though, because she doesn't always have time to check in here, or when she does steal a nanosecond or three from her kids, she looks only at threads she's responded in previously for further replies.
