<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello to all Gardeners and Gardener
Wanna-Be's!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We actually had a "garden meal" on Sunday night,
which was salad greens, green beans, and boiled potatoes, so that felt
good! I think I'm behind in putting in seed for fall stuff, but my
first-year garden has done well, I think. And... the 6 tomato starts we
bought from Jenny now stand about 4-5 feet tall and have lots of small green
tomato's, keeping my fingers crossed for ripe ones! How is your
garden?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last month I learned a lot about bees from Evan
Sugden, his presentation was really great. Evan will be coming to the
festival in September for those who missed him this time. Now, the get
together for the Urban Crop Circle is always the first Monday of
the month ... but for September that falls on Labor Day! Which will
probably not work for most folks. I suggest moving the circle to the next
Monday, September 8th. But before that can happen:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am getting ready to go on a vacation to Costa
Rica and will be wrapped up in getting ready after September 1st and will
still be gone the first Monday in October. So, we need 2 volunteers,
one for September and one for October to run the group (or one volunteer ready
to take on 2 circles).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The commitment would be to:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Decide the theme (and there are lots of
options)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Reserve the space at the library (1 phone
call)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Arrange for tea or snacks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Send notice to UCC and post on wiki on the
Sustainable Ballard website</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>EASY!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You're reward will be good garden karma! And
we all need that.</FONT></DIV>
