And, in closingThat's it for another edition of e-gardens. I hope you've found this one useful, and I hope you'll pass it along to your friends. In the meantime, if you know my wife, wish her Happy Birthday tomorrow, but don't tell her how you found out. I'll see you on Facebook, on my website, tuned into my podcasts, maybe listening to my programs live, in the newspaper (I write for almost 20), in church and at a burger joint and nursery. Busy week! Until next week, happy gardening! |
