And, in closingThat's it for this week's edition of e-gardens. I really hope you've found it fun and enjoyable. I enjoy writing my parts of it for you, and we're grateful to Diane Sitton for her fine contributions each month. Here's hoping you can get out into the landscape and garden a few hours this weekend and show yourself that you still remember how it all works. In the meantime, look me up on my website or on Facebook. Tune me in on radio or via a podcast. Or come join us at church or listen to the live stream at 10:05. (If you happen to catch the February 10 service, scroll to Pastor Tommys sermon. I spoke with him a couple of hours after the service and told him I thought it was one of the best hes ever given.) Until next week, thanks for reading And happy gardening! |
