You're so welcome.I'm happy to do whatever I can to support urban farming as
it's my passion and mission in life :0)
Thank you!
To post on the UCC list you click on the link at the top that says something

No babies yet but could be any time now!

my front door)

I'm available to host a gathering at my Ballard micro-farm
either Wed 4/28 or Thurs 4/29 between 3-5:30pm.
I'm sticking around here as much as possible waiting for my milk goat to
give birth any time now.
We have our urban goat keepers group meeting here at 6pm Wed,
I could see if it would be OK with everyone if he came to that if he wants
to.
I'm working at home all day today and am available except 4pm when that
Ballard News Tribune writer
is coming here for that urban farming article.
I'm hosting our Edible Garden Tour planning meeting here at 6-7pm tonight
-so after that would work too.
I hope something works out!
If you want,feel free to schedule something and give folks my address:
8712 28th Ave NW-down gravel 'Chicken Coop Lane' from my mailbox.

on-site?? If this is going to be a lot of effort and not something easily
accomplished, I say "let it go."

with Darrin Nordahl when he is in Seattle! Margaret has been a wonderful
resource and hooked us up with Friends of Gilman Urban Gardens. We are
planning a press event on site at the invitation of King County Councilman
Larry Phillips next Thursday, April 29 at 1 p.m. as a result of this
connection.

looking over his scheduled events, let me know if you would like to meet

of his down time for personal meetings but I love to keep him as busy as
possible.

can find out more about PPQA and our project on our website: ppqa.org).
Unfortunately, our project is totally ornamental.
