Notice for Those Who Give A Crop!!!

When I looked into my chrysanthemum pots, I noticed new growth. Little green leaves in January??? Is this another of mother nature’s notice about global warming??? March, not January is usually when we begin to get excited about gardening. However, waiting until the days get longer and a bit warmer is no longer needed. Winter planting is also possible.

Let’s attend the Garden Group educational program on Friday the 27th at 3 pm. Melinda will bring what is needed to put the seeds in the dirt and watch for seedlings to arrive just in time for planting. Nature is truly amazing. It seems to know when to sprout and to grow baby veggies.

So for those Who Give A Crop be at the Clubhouse on Friday and bring a snack to share.

Careful, It’s Dark Outside

I often take Vanessa for walks after dark. My night vision is still pretty good, so I often don’t bother with a flashlight. A park member mentioned to me that she was not able to see me the other night because I was wearing dark clothes and Vanessa is VERY black. She made me aware that, although I can see okay, I am not seen by others. I will be carrying a small flashlight in the future and will put reflective tape on my jacket.
