And, in closingLike the 2016 growing season, e-gardens for this week is just about done. And as soon as I "Save" and "Send" this one, I'll start thinking about next week's. In the kindtime (as opposed to "meantime"), join me on Facebook, on radio, in a dozen or more Texas newspapers, and via podcasts. You can even find answers to more than 1,000 FAQs that Ive answered on my website. If you enjoyed us, tell your friends. Even better, tell our advertisers. Seriously, pick up the phone and let them know. Until next week, happy gardening! Neil |
