Preparations Continue In The Gloom


Marianne and Janice did a nice job coordinating the volunteers that came to help price our plant sale vegetables and herbs today. To the left is Magda, just one of our seven tagging helpers today. Marianne and Janice have done such a nice job preparing the sale, we collectively decided that I should just "stay out of the way" for now so they wont be slowed down! The herbs and veggies look great and hopefully any threats of frost are long gone. We have over 25,000 plants out there waiting for a home and many would despise cold temperatures. To the right is Doris, another tagging volunteer. She did a nice job with the herbs and is a veteran of this "tagging process". We also had Janet, Audra, Cindy, Gary and another volunteer (can't remember her name!). Margaret was here to help tag and also arranged all the gourd and cucumber seeds in our seed rack. We also had a nice Grumpy day with Big John and Pat helping with plant sale preparations and Dick P., Maury and Dick H. working on other odd jobs. Larry and Dick H. also worked on repairing some equipment. Rollie was here to continue with brick installation. Vern, Dave, Jim and Bob A. worked on constructing the new desk for our laser engraver and we also saw Gary, Dave, Angie, Polly, Mike, Bob T., Julie, Urban and others over here today as well. It was drizzly most of the morning but looks like it will clear up for the next three days. We saw Dr. Yahr today too and are expecting fresh ideas shortly. I spent the day catching up but had many of the usual distractions. Nice close-up below from Santos of bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis).
