And, in closingThat's it for e-gardens for this week. It's been a great deal of fun getting it ready for you, and I've already started thinking about next week's edition. Between now and next week I'll be looking for you on my website, on Facebook, tuning your radio dial, downloading a podcast, down the pew in church or in a nursery near you. Have a wonderful week. Until next time, Happy gardening! |
