Friends,
The garden is coming very well. We had a wonderful work day last Saturday, and expect another one this week. You are invited to a potluck breakfast at the garden at 9am this Saturday morning (5/9). Lead gardeners, please RSVP to Meme so we know if you can come! Hope it works for you. You don't have to stay and work if it is a busy day!
