[UrbanCropCircle] Garden Updates, Tomato Sale

[rhonda at sustainableballard.org]

First of all, my apologies for mis-addressing to the list and you did not
receive the  meeting reminder that I sent to only ME (sigh, and it isn't
even mercury retrograde yet).

At the same time the speaker for the evening fell through, even if the
group was smaller we had a good time.  If anyone is feeling deprived of
garden talk, feel free to share what is happening in your garden.  For
instance, I was concerned that my baby broccoli raab's flowered as soon as
they hit the dirt outside but Christina's did the same thing, hmmm.

One of our new group members, Kate Folchert, is having a sale this
Saturday from 9-1 for her unusual tomato called "Uncle Wilfred".  They are
supposedly good for this climate and she's selling them for $2 a start.
What a deal!

Saturday, May 9th, 9-1
8031 Jones Ave NW

Also, Plant Amnesty's very fun Tree Festival is this weekend and the UCC
will be represented in the Sustainable Ballard booth.  Ingela has some
available shifts, not a big time commitment and it will be a great way to
hang at the festival.  The weather report looks good!  Here's the link to
check it out and if  you have a couple hours shoot Ingela an email at
Ingela at sustainableballard.org

I will be out of town for a couple weeks and worrying about my plants
already!  Happy Gardening!

Oh!  An idea that was talked about on Monday is for some get-togethers at
different houses, so we can see our gardens in person.  It would have to
be in addition to the regular meeting at the community center because that
is an advertised thing through the parks department, but I'm sure we can
figure it out.
