And, in closingTime to turn out the lights. You've come to the end. But we'll be back next week with another exciting episode of e-gardens. Please let our advertisers know you see them here on our pages. And let your friends know you enjoy e-gardens. Maybe they'll sign up, too. Meantime, tune in my podcasts or programs, join me on Facebook or come into our website. And I'll see you at church this coming Sunday. Until then, happy gardening! Neil |
