Q&A
|

|
|||||||
And, in closing(Please don't get this confused with the Q&A section of e-gardens above.) If
you have a cold-weather gardening question that I haven't
addressed in
my story this issue, and if you would like
to have me answer it on the radio this Saturday or Sunday,
email it to me by Fri. Jan. 12, 3pm at I
will need to know which radio program you will be tuning to for your
answer: If you don't list the station, I won't know where to answer. That's what we call an e-gardens. Thanks for subscribing, friend, and I hope you've enjoyed it. I'm already working on ideas for next week, so until then Be safe, and Happy Gardening!
