And, in closingI'll keep this short. I've had my second cataract surgery two days ago, and I've tried to stick to the critical topics this time around. If you've enjoyed e-gardens, please let others know. If you haven't, please keep it a secret. Get into your favorite garden center soon. There are fabulous plants, great plant experts and possibly some great sales as well. I'll see you on Facebook, in my newspaper columns, on the radio and via my podcasts. Or in church on Mother's Day. And for sure right back here next week. If
it's appropriate, Happy Mother's Day. Neil |
