And, in closingThat's it for e-gardens for this week. Before I go, though, Dr. Larry Stein and my other friends with TAMU Extension horticulture have asked that I alert you to "Taste 360°" where they'll be pulling out all the stops on farm-to-table, backyard horticulture, and 10 tons of other great info. Click here for all the details or copy and paste https://taste360.tamu.edu into your browser. It's Friday and Saturday March 20-21. Don't miss it! Until next week, you know where I'll be: radio, Facebook, website, podcasts, church. Until then, thanks for reading And happy gardening! |
