One thing that concerns me about Gaia University is that although the Accreditation page talks a lot about accreditation, it basically takes a long time avoiding a simple acknowledgment that it's not accredited anywhere, with anyone. So it may or may not be good quality education - I don't know. I wouldn't rule it out for not being accredited, though that will be a legitimate concern for some students. But I like dealing with people who talk straight and share honestly - promoting their services in this evasive way turns me off, personally speaking.

I had thought about getting more involved, but decided against it, partially due to things still being unclear and shifting in the program itself.

Hi, Jon. I believe they're hardy enough to be grown here where I live in the Okanagan, so I don't see why they couldn't be grown on the coast. There is a man in Duncan who sells all sorts of interesting tropical and sub-tropical plants, and pawpaws are on his list: http://www.tropic.ca/index.htm The pawpaw page isn't displaying properly because of a mimetype error -- I'm about to e-mail the guy about it -- but it does mention 'Wilson', a cultivar that ripens well in the cool summers of the coast. You'll need at least two trees -- a male and a female, and be careful about placement, because (1) they apparently sucker like mad; that's why they always say pawpaw *patch*, and (2) they're fly-pollinated, so the flowers smell a bit fetid. Hope this helps! Paul On Fri, 2009-09-25 at 10:37 -0700, Jon Raney wrote: > Does anyone know whether pawpaws can be grown in coastal British > Columbia?

Can you explain how you arrived at this conclusion? What it says on the accreditation page is that it's accredited with IMCA Socrates... :j _______________________________________________ permaculture mailing list permaculture@...
