| 2009-11-09 | Debbie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-11-09 | Heidi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks so much for getting back to me so promptly. You made my day, by telling me that I didn't have to cut back my Alstroemerias quite yet. (I am cutting alot more of the flowering ones and bringing them into the house. A small planter, that I had outside, is now in front of my fireplace...any doing quite well.)If anyone has a question, go to Tom Alonzo. He is a "sweetie" to give up his time to help "dummies" like me. Thanks again, Tom Heidi, stuck in Tennessee |

Tom Alonzo
Expertise
I have been a gardener for 20 years with perennials both growing from seed and from nurseries. I went through the Master Gardener Program from Kansas State University Cooperative Extension Service and I answered questions on the Hotline a few years ago for the Wyandotte County Kansas Extension Service. I have also lived in the Florida, California, Hawaii, Arizona, Texas, Kansas and Missouri and am experienced with a variety of climates, soils and weather conditions.
Experience
I have been growing perennials for over 20 years now. I am self-taught mostly except for a master gardener class. I have experimented with all kinds of perennials including many that are not common to my area. I have read hundreds of books and grown hundreds of varieties of plants and hope to make it a business some day. I have become versed in botanical names and growing conditions and what I don't know off of the top of my head I can usually easily find in my vast array of research material and botanical and horticultural contacts. I especially enjoy experimenting with growing plants out of zone.
