And, in closingMy goal when we began this reformatted e-gardens was to have a source of reliable, localized gardening information at your fingertips each weekend. I hope we're meeting that goal. If so, please share us with friends. Here's a link you can copy and paste. https://neilsperry.com/egardens/20190110/20190110.html Until next week, please join me on radio or via one of my podcasts. Or on my Facebook page or through one of my almost 20 newspaper columns. Or of course, at my website. Say "Hi" at church or stop by the table at the hamburger joint. It's always nice to see you. Until next week, Happy gardening! |
