once again, darry and i were the only people who showed up to work in the garden. it's sad but true, our fellow master gardeners have abandoned the demo garden once again. i had hoped that the small group of volunteers that worked with us in the garden before the big field day event would continue to come out and help us maintain the beds. i can only send out so many invitations to work with us before it becomes annoying. so, if you are in need of fulfilling your certification requirements, please consider coming out and joining us on sundays from 9am til...
