[UrbanCropCircle] Floating Farmers' Market/ Native Plant Salvage Event Nov. 6

Thu Oct 7 23:47:04 PDT 2010

Paula,
I'm glad the meeting at Laurette's went well, and sorry I missed it!
I will have to miss next month's as well, because of my grant-writing class.
I wish I could hear Ingela discuss soil amendments. It's an area I really
want to learn about.

I haven't had any recent requests from people to be removed from the UCC
list. .

Susan
